Look at the weight of the battery recommended on the store, try to stay at or below that. I run 850mah max on my TT, some people do run bigger packs, it depends on where the finished plane balances and how fast you want it to fly. A heavier plane will need faster airspeed to generate enough lift.
I would build the plane first, then see how much weight applied where on the airframe gets it to balance. My battery sits 2/3rds of the way inside the fuselage so I can’t fit a bigger one in there, your build may end up different.

the 3s give's it a little weight on windy days.
with the programing card if you forget to set the prop direction u just plug the bec end and set it up. no need to hook it up to a pc. neat for when you are at the field. lets enjoy and have fun.

I’ve had good luck with these:

They also have 20 amp esc’s but they are about the same size I think and then you can use this with a bigger motor too.
Are these pre programed do I have to do anything when I get them besides plug them in?
I haven't programmed mine at all. I just soldered on connectors and plugged it into my plane!

No, for the first flight just land after 5 min, then every 2 min after that and check the voltage of the battery with one of these. Then once the pack reads about 7.4 volts, take note of how long you flew and then set a timer on your phone for that amount of time. It'll keep you from having to come in dead-stick. As long as your esc has some airflow it shouldn't overheat.
Okay! Thanks

I use the Hobbyking new or Hobbywing Skywalker. Those come pre set up with low voltage cut off so if you do forget to set up a timer or make a mistake with it it won’t let you drain the battery. SimonK ones are set up for old quads, they will keep running until the battery is flat if you don’t set your flight time up right.
Yes. I have several of them, but I haven’t taken the time to figure out how to set them up as alarms yet. @mayan uses them as alarms.
Thanks - I'll try that next time I go fly!
