There were a few of us besides my son and I who flew them in the Nats last year. Like any brand of lipo if you treat them right they seem to perform just fine. The compact and the Nano versions seem to be the most popular as they can be 5c charged. The standards seem to work well too just can be charged as fast.

I've used the Zippy Compacts 35C for 3 years without any issues.  4S 2700 and 3300 mAh packs.

I have about 12 or more of the batteries and only had one go bad on me and puff up. even though I have had one give me trouble the overall cost savings was huge since I need 4 batteries for the B-29 (4S, 3000 Mah).
