Hi Guys, just watched the build videos and I must say it looks really good...

My only concern is that I have a couple of these

batteries that I would like to use...and are wondering if you guys could check if they will fit or not

Thanks...
If they don't fit...you know of any heli that would they would work in?

I believe Tom Viper talked about flying the heli on 5S in this (http://www.helifreak.com/viewtopic.php?t=39842) thread. Either that or on the topic on rcgroups (http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=607690). I beleive he made a special support for it to fit the canopy.

Reading/searching around I found this photo of a 5S mount (www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1247080), now you do the rest; search & read!

Here´s me playing around with a 5S pack and the Z30 1110 motor.
Because I now fly mainly on 6S, my throttle curve where only at 90% here. Still fun to fly though.

Some 5S will fit with the stock mounts, like the 5S MaxAmps 4000mA.
For sports and duration flying, 5S is the key, but for hard 3D, 6S is a must.
