Father Christmas says that I can buy some RC gear for Christmas. As part of that, I would like to get a couple of 4S batteries for my PT20 balsa plane.
What is your opinions on the difference between
a 4S 20C 2650mAh (Turnigy @ $14 or $19 from AUS, Flightmax $15) or
a 4S 20C 3000mAh (Turnigy @ $18, Flightmax $17).
I'm thinking that flight times aren't going to be appreciably longer but I may get a little more grunt. There's only about 40g in weight difference so I don't think that will be significant.

I'm a bit price sensitive and figure I can almost buy three batteries for the price of two (with some creative mathematics
). So, I'd go for the 2650s unless you have experiences which indicate that the 3000 does make an appreciable difference.
So... Whatchyarekon?
