| Hey,
I'm using 2s 810mah LiPo's in my Humme and it goes great.
While the head speed isn't as initially high as the previous 9.6volt NiMh's I was using, a constant rotor speed is held for longer & duration is up. The latter being for 2 reasons,
1. the LiPo's can hold a constant voltage longer and
2. as they are lighter you dont need so much power to carry them.
But the last statement also provides a slight problem for the Hummer as well, as the LiPo is lighter the model becomes very tail heavy.
What I have done is perform the classic old trick of shortening the main blades 10~15mm and shortening the boom as well as much as I dare before the tail rotor could hit the main blades.
This has made a vast improvement I feel in the models feel in the air with the lighter batterys & also it's flying performance as well.
Let us know what you find flying yours.
