Mostly curious about battery life for the 4xAA option, but if you use LiPo's I'd like to hear that too.
Trying to decide if I want/need to go LiPo route on the receiver.

Are you talking about the LCD receiver? If so, I only use the 4 double AA and it lasts a long time. With the flying and testing I've done, I have over 8 hours. Perhaps Cris from Eggtime will reply. I'm sure he knows.
I have used in the past a 300 & 500 mAh lipo but because my case has so much room, bigger is better
Good to know. That's the kind of information I need.I thought about a lipo for the receiver, but then I would have had to put another hole in the receiver box to charge. WIth the AA batteries, I have yet to open the box to replace them.
Thanks for the info.That's good enough. I have rechargeable AAs, as well as lots of extras.Assuming you don't need the backlight, you can get about 10-12 hours of use out of a set of good alkaline AAs with the LCD-GPS module.
thanks for the update. good to know.No leaks and I was aamzed that when I turned it on it fired right up
I built mine so everything fits inside the case, even the wire antenna used to track from >50,000' and miles away. I use velcro to hold the battery case in place.
