Choosing LiPo Batteries for RC 3D Aerobatic Planes
When it comes to 3D aerobatic planes, You nudge the stick—the plane better jump like it knows what’s coming. In 3D flight, every twitch counts—and these batteries respond like they’re wired straight to your fingers. Fly with a soft pack, and suddenly your hover’s wobbling and your stick inputs feel like they’re going through syrup.Try flying 3D on a weak pack and you’ll feel it fast—hover feels off, punch-out is lazy, and the plane just doesn’t lift like it should. That’s why real setups run 3S 2200 for foamies, and up to 6S 5000 when you're tossing big wood.
Popular Models and Battery Requirements
Planes like the Extra 300, Edge 540T, or Slick 540? Most of those beasts need 4S or 6S packs—nothing less. And if you're flying hard, 70C or higher isn’t a luxury—it’s the baseline.These birds don’t wait around. You stab the throttle, and CNHL punches back harder—like it’s daring you to push more.
Why Choose CNHL for Your 3D Routines?
CNHL packs don’t flinch—even when you’re ripping throttle like you’re trying to tear the stick off. No sag, no stutters—just pure punch when you bury the throttle and pray it bites. When you're riding the edge—low hovers, fast rolls—In moves like a knife-edge spin, there’s no redo—There’s no “almost” in a knife-edge—either the pack holds strong, or you’re scooping up pieces. When you're flying inches off the ground, When you're that low, you don’t have time to wonder if your pack will keep up—CNHL just does.
What size pack do you need? Depends on what you’re flying:
- Foam 3D planes (small park flyers): Go with a 3S, somewhere between 1300 and 2200mAh—light and punchy.
- Mid-size balsa builds (around 40–60"): You’re looking at 4S to 6S, in the 3300 to 5000mAh range.
- Big, comp-style 3D monsters: Go 6S, minimum 5000mAh—6000 if you’re throwing it hard.
