is there any 6s pack that will fit the stock plastic frame and that will allow the canopy to fit?? i have a couple diffrent 3s packs but only one astro 109 charger. so if i had only one 6s pack i could charge it and not have to charge two 3s packs.

I have several batteries on the way, so I'll let you know when they get here. A 5S Hyperion 3800 fits fine, and the dimensions are just a few millimeters shorter than a comparable 6S so I'm fairly confident that one will fit.
thanks for the info. let me know once you get the pack. isnt 5s to low to fly the hurri? i thought you needed at least 6s?

I have some TP 3300 6S packs on the way also.
I am not getting the canopy to fit on perfectly with 2 - FP 3S 3200 30C packs. It almost fits, but I can't quite get the hole on the bottom of the canopy, to get to the post. It is about 3/4 of an inch short. I am using an elastic hair tie - to go through the hole... and then looped back (couple of times) over the post.
The canopy actually does not look bad, and in looking at it, you wouldn't know if I didn't tell you.
You can fly on 5S - you just don't have the voltage you do with 6S. You loss a little of the POP you would have on 6S.
Tioli - what kind of flight times do you get on that 5S battery?
Let's see, I've only used it once for testing. I did about 4:30 and used about 40% of the pack. So pretty good time. I didn't like the lack of power, though. It was noticable.
Here's a picture of the TP 3300mAh 6S battery (left), and the Hyperion 6S, 4350mAh battery (right). Both fit well. The CG is perfect with the TP and a little nose heavy with the Hyperion. The Canopy fits okay with both, better with the smaller TP. I think the TP's will be the winner. I'll fly Sunday and that'll be the test of time/performance.
Both are lighter than the Apogee 3S 3800's that I've been using.
please let us know what your findings are once you have flown it! what motor and headspeed are you running also would be good to know? this was the info i was looking for and the pics are great! thanks
