Rx Battery

[LS1Chris]

Hi,
I've been out of the r/c industry for almost 5 years.
Last I was active was in 2000 before entering college to become an Airframe & Powerplant mechanic, now done with college in Class of 2005.
The weather is finally warming up here (NY) and I took my X-Cell .60 Graphite SE out which hasn't last been flown at least a year ago (once in a while I hover itin the backyard for the fun of it)

However I've cycled the current Rx batteries I have, it's probably end of it's useful life.

I'd like to get a new Rx battery setup. Today I've been searching the r/c industry on the internet and I see this new thing from Duralite which has higher voltage (7.2V) which can be used with a Duralite regulator for better voltage control?

I looked at see a 5.1 and 5.6 regulator, I don't know which one to go with either.
The 4,000 MAH battery has my interest.

Here's my setup:
X-Cell .60 Graphite SE
O.S. .61 SX
Futaba 8UHP transmitter
GV-1 Govenor
CSM 360 Gyro

Servos:
S9202 on collective, elevator and alieron
S9001 on throttle
S9203 on tail rotor (rudder)

I currently have a 4.8V battery right now.
My current flying skills involves alot of flips and mild 3D.
However I may progress to extreme 3D in the future.

What do you think I should do?

Get the 4000mah Duralite combo deal for the best bang for your $$. I strongly recommend the Duralite charger, and one comes with this combo. Only thing you might want to ask for specifically is the new 5.3 Volt Regulator with HD Switch since it is a heli it is going into.

You will really LOVE the way the Lithium Ion packs hold their charge for a LONG time compared to Ni-CD, Ni-MH.

I got 19 flights on my Packs this weekend at chatt before I had to charge my Dlites. I ran them down to 7.12 with a 1 amp load.

I got 4000mah Rx pack
The 9Z Tx Pack
3X1 charger (if you think you will ever get more than 1 batt I would go ahead and get this charger)
Load Tester (A Must)
5.1 Regulator (I got the 5.3 with the HD switch on order)
