Vincent,

20C is plenty. If 2500 mAh is enough for what you want to do and the weight and dimensions fit you plane then the price certainly will too.

I use Zippy's in my helicopters and they are fine. At $30.00 per battery if a couple go bad after fifty flights who cares!

Kim.

Vincent, 

I've been using a couple of Hobby City Zippy Flightmax 4S 2200 mah 20C batteries in my electric Ringmasters. No problems so far and I just yesterday ordered another. By the way Hobby City has some sticky back industrial grade velcro on sale for $1.36 for a 5" by one meter roll. If it is any good (the price is right) it should be enough last for a LONG time (doesn't weigh much either so I added it to my battery order). I have also been using their APC knock off electric props with no problem so far either. Ugly color but so are the APCs in my opinion. LOL

Vincent,

You might also consider the new Turnigy cells they came out with.  I bought some 2650 packs and they are really packaged well and priced as a steal.  They are also rated to be charged up to 3S.  I have charged them @ 2S with no issues. 

I look forward to hearing about how your Nobler flies.  With those batteries, you should have a nice light airframe.
