Sorry to horn in on this thread, but am in process of ordering the Pitts Special. Frank R is using 850mAh 3s, HK recommend 1300mAh, HK forum guy using 2200mAh but nowhere is C rating mentioned, 20c, 25c, 30c, 35c, 40c all available (will probably stick with Franks 800 suggestion to keep weight down for easier flying). My electrical ignorance still present & guidance needed please.

20c will be fine, i have a few of 1000ma and 1300ma lipos if you want to test with pitts before you spend the cash on the one you want to use on it.

Tip to work out easily is below ( x .0 )

simply times ma rating of lipo with c rating with .0 in front of c rating

1000ma at 20c is 20 amps cont supply to motor (1000x.020)
1000ma at 25c is 25 amps cont supply to motor (1000x.025)
1000ma at 40c is 40 amps cont supply to motor (1000x.040)
2250ma at 30c is 67.5 amps cont supply to motor (2250x.030)
2650ma at 45c is 119.25 amps cont supply to motor (2650 x .045)
