My Posts This: Topic Forum | I'm using Turnigy (newer brand of flightmax from hobby city) 6S 2650 20C. I broke them in with a 1C charge, 3C discharge for 3 cycles, did two hovering cycles and then started my normal flying routines on my trex 500 and logo 400.
The first discharge yielded almost exactly 2650 mah, but that may have picked up a bit after the storage chemistry burned off.
First real flight they sagged a bit and i noticed some power loss, but after one real cycle in the heli they picked up and feel very similar to my xps 30C lipos. (the xps have about 35 cycles). I currently have rougly 8 cycles on each turnigy and i'm very happy so far, balance good, charge at 2C at the field, 1C at home and they seem to be holding up fine, no puffing, etc.
Not to bad for $35 
For reference, i fly mostly 3D mixed with sport and power moves. My average discharge is 26 amps with peaks to about 65 amps. I'm currently running these 5 minutes though i think i could bump it to 6 as long as i'm not really slamming the heli around extra hard that day. I'm trying to get better at collective management which is increasing my flight times.
