Stay with the 2200 for now and save the landing gear of your planes. Wait for more flying exp in the futur...to handle a larger lipo:cool: remember to double-check the CG. By the way , a lipo with high C discharge mean more weight. A 3cell 3000 15c is all most the same weight then a 2200 65c:)

so i guess the 2200 will have less flying time. how do lipos work for example can i put 5000 mah 35c 3s instead or will i burn the esc

With EP planes, lightweight and throttle management is the basic key for more flying time. The 2200 with a good CG should give you around 6/7min with a calm winds. PS To get a 15min flying time on a 3000 20c lipo as the manual say, you need to cut the motor and glide for few sec often during the fly.

And don't add lead weights to reach the CG, use the lipo displacement in the battery compatiment
