I tend to pick models that a) I like and b) have lipos for.  SO I end up with lots of the same size lipos.  Most of my planes fly with:

1) 3S 1300mAh
2) 3S 2200mAh
4) 3S 3300mAh
5) 4S 2200mAh
6) 4S 3200mAh
7) 6S 2700mAh
8) 6S 4000mAh

I was thinking that for my next 3 visits to the club I will fly only lipos of one voltage type.  So, 1st visit only 3S, 2nd visit only 4S and final visit only 6S.  It will force me to fly some models that I hardly ever fly.

So, watch out for me flying 3S planes, this week!

Yikes!  Simon must be bored.  He's rambling again.   ;D

Ah, I know what Simon is up to.  He recently acquired a parallel charging board so he can charge multiple packs, of the same cell count, at a time.  So, this week it will be 3 cell packs.

That kid is always in a hurry!   ;)

I have had 3 parallel charge boards for the last 3 years!

I am really trying to decide which aeroplanes to keep!

Really?  I thought you showed me your new board in Kingston.  Oh well.  There goes my theory...
