Default Mini Ifo Help

Hi, i am new to electric flyng and was thinking on buying the rtf mini ifo from wild rc.

-http://www.wildrc.com/htmlpages/rtfmini.html

I was thinking on going to NiMH batteries, since i already have the charger (Novak Millenium), would you recomend me doing this, or going to lipos. What will be the best NiMH pack for the ifo, and does someone knows who sell it

Thanks a lot Marcelo

I would definitely go lipols to save weight. They will fly diff. if you put to much weight on

Ive got a 3s 740mah lithium Ion pack on mine (the stock piccolo li-ion pack)
Goes for 20 mins easily!
Great power.
If you stixk a servo on moving the whole rudder also, it unlocks a whole new barrel of fun

I have a mini IFO too and LI Po's are the way to go my first was a 7.2v 2 cell now I have a 7.2 v 3 cell jumps the MIAH up about 200 or so. I am considering putting the 2 cell back on to save some weight. I upgraded the engine to the twin GWS and thought I might need the extra cell but it turns out I get 45 mins of flying time with it and 25 on the 2 cell which is fine with me. I also am considering putting in a rudder servo in so I can truly hover with little effort. That weight swap with the 2 cell should equal out and I will be OK.
