we tested the HE-162 at the week end with 3s1p KOKAM 3200 and also with 4s1p KOKAM 3200. The extra weight is ok, still easy to fly! Heiner |

Hello,
tested my He-162 at Saturday with a 4s1p 2200 KOKAM. That reduced the weight by 140g! Very good performance now! Left the HE-162 at my friends house for the paint job, photos in about 2 weeks! Heiner |
