I am new to the RC hobby and have flown some airplanes and love to build things but have never built a airplane. I am going to buy the Guinea pig plane from flight test store. I have a transmitter, receiver, and I bought the FT Power Pack C Twin Radial also from flight test store. The one thing I was missing was a battery. I watch flight tests video all about battery and there specs but it didn’t make much sense.

can anyone help me out please?

the store page shows what are appropriate batteries for that plane:
https://store.flitetest.com/ft-guinea-pig-wr-1473mm/

there are 4 important bits to a battery's states:
- the mAh rating (2200mAh - 3700mAh in this case)
- the number of cells (3s in this case)
- the connector (XT60 in this case)
- C rating (mAh * C rating is the max draw the battery can handle) in this case looks like 25c+
