Yeah, but that's assuming the battery will actually discharge at 40C, which many batteries on the market will not do or st least not do well without degradation. It's a safer bet to use 25C as a bench mark for a majority of LiPo's on the market. Things are beginning to change with higher actual discharge capabilities, but it's still not the "norm" quite yet :).
4A (aka 4000mah) X 25C = 100A
That is still within reason for this jet as it draws under 100A at full throttle. :Cool:

I'll be trying out some new 60c 5000 graphenes in this one. Heavy batt though, but by all reports well worth it. (First time I'll use them, got em for the a10). If she flies a bit heavy I'll try my zippys and see what a 4000 is like as well. But think the graphenes will be fine, especially in the wind.

Some may say that it's a waste of money and is overkill, but I will always buy the highest C rated battery that I can justifiable afford at the time. My other choices for LiPos are Admirals, Gens Ace and Revolectrix (when they are on sale).

That's definitely hard to tell, but fun to test I plan to keep it light on a Jetfan 6S. However, I do have a Jetfan 8S and 10S setup as well if I wanted to some testing. The crappy part is the physics. Haha. The faster you try to go, the more ridiculous the power has to get speed to improve as forces are working against us. LOL

Well it's payday so I joined the club and snagged one today! I can't wait for my first real sport jet and it looks like it will be worth the wait!
Garyss...You should be able to remove the cockpit panel and floor without any structural issues, but Alpha is the expert on that.My YouTube RC videos:
