general lipo help question
I am in a dilema, i have this setup
[link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3171206/mpage_236/key_/tm.htm[/link]
see photos
now, i have a beginners pitch setup of 0 degrees at 0 throttle. 10 degrees at 100%
i have a 10 C 2200mah pack and a 30 A ESC which is fine.
At the moment i will be doing basic flight, no 3d
1) do you think i can go to 15 C, do i get more power from a higher rating ?
2) what is best for my setup.... 10C 2200mah, 10C 1500mah, 15C 1500mah
3) how many A would a burst take 5 amp ?

RE: general lipo help question
A 15C 1500mah delivers aprox the same max continous amps as a 2200mah 10C LiPo battery, but the 1500mah battery is lighter.
15x1500=22500
10x2200=22000
From what I have read most 10C batteries can handle bursts of 12-15C or aprox 5-12A extra for a 2200mah battery.
You can get 15C batteries that handles bursts of up to 25C.
As for what is best for your setup, I can't tell, I am a total newbie.
