Hi Stan
Sorry if I wasn't clear. Use a single Blace mCX battery.The Blade mCX Heli
batteries are made up of 2 x 120mah cells (give or take 10 mah depending on
the brand). This should easily fly the Bug for an hour or more. You could
give up a little flight time and save another couple of grams by using a
2x80mah battery, but you would have to build that yourself from single
cells. I like using these since a lot of us already have a mCX. All you need
is a pigtail, which most hobby stores have in stock. If you don't have a
mCX, buy one. They are a hoot. The same batteries are also used in
a verity of planes. If all else fails, the batteries and charger are also at
most hobby stores.
