        Hi Anthony,
        I would try and keep the pack size and weight down as there's not a lot of room under the canopy and you need to keep an eye on the c of g. Biggest pack I've run on mine is a 900/30c. If it's just for sporting about, 20c should be fine. I've just got some Zippy 800mha /20c they give me 6mins and come with the correct plug, weight 65g - about £5 a pop. Happy days.

        Cheers, Marty

          have been using the LoongMax 800mah x 30c and these fit and fly ok , loads of power and 6 mins

          +1 on being careful on Cell size and weight as the canopy is a tight fit

            the biggest pack I can fit on mine is a 1000mah gens ace or 1000 overlander. the overlander is significantly smaller than the gens ace but as said any bigger and you will have to drill new holes for the canopy posts and things start getting tricky.

            for the same price as the overlander packs I can get 2 gens ace or 3 zippy's while the zippys are only 850 mah the fact I can get three for the same price makes it a no brainer really. I just fancied trying some higher end packs in mine as I have never had "decent" packs.

            have fun

              IMHO You can definetly feel the difference between 20C & 30C packs if you fly it hard.
              I would recommend the Align 30C as they are pretty Light around 70g, plus they come with JST connectors fitted with decent guage wire.
