It's been my experience for about two years that
lithiums work great on small models. Just use one cell.
At 3.6 - 3.7 volts you will not need a regulator.
I've found the servos to be a bit sluggish for
stick-banging, but you'll be flying smoothly anyways.
Even the nimble Colibri didn't feel sluggish AT ALL.
I have a 700 mAh LiIon cell in my Mini JW, a Herring,
and in a (crashed) colibri. Your challenge will be to
find a lithium cell that is comparable in size and
weight to a 4x50 mAh nicad.

I just plug and unplug, no switch. I also use a 120
mah nimh pack that is the same size and weight of the

batteries from. With the lipo's you will have to use a
regulator which is a weight penalty.
