Do you guys use the square or flat packs? Also, does the Heavy Duty Switch mount without modifications on the airframe?

Flat packs, you can mount the switch in the stock location withuot hassle, but the regulator has a short lead on it..

Thanks, LameBird.
I currently get 10 flights with 9252's and the 4000mAH flat pack on my Evo 90's running 5.3 volts. If I choose to run 6 volts with 9451's on the stratus with the same pack, how many flights am I looking at?

We use the square packs because the fit better using the velcro strap slots in the carbon mount - the flat pack hangs off the edges of the mount.

I guess I never thought about it like that.. I've seen several folks with the flat packs and got them, and it does hang over the edge, but it seems more cosmetic than anything. Wiring neatness is NOT my strong point anyway...
As for the 6V setup, I'd guess you'd get nearly the same, but would assume 1-2 flights less until you could verify it yourself.

Square packs fit perfectly on the Stratus.
