Some quick questions on FlySky GT5... profiles

[Radian2x]

I'm about to pull the trigger (pun intended) on a new FlySky GT5, but a few questions came to mind... and I'm still not sure after reading the manual;

1. Can you create multiple profiles for the *same* car? For example one profile for myself (100% throttle, low AVC), and one 'beginner' profile with 40% throttle, high AVC?
2. How easy is it to switch profiles?
3. How long is battery life with AA's... and with 2S lipo?

Thanks!

I don’t think so for #1
It’s extremely easy to switch from receiver to receiver
And the battery is ok on AAs but idk about the 2S

As reviewed by Razor RC.

Hard to find are the suitable 2s lipos for the GT5.

I bought a 1500mAh 'GT5' 2S Lipo on ebay.

Its a bit on the small side, you could probably fit a much larger capacity, maybe around 2500mAh? if you find one with suitable dimensions

If standard alkaline AA batteries have aprox 2500 mAh then the alkaline AA's will last aprox 40% longer than my 1500mAh Lipo... If thats any help.

Edit- That could actually be incorrect if it has a switching voltage regulator on board.
If it does then 1500mAh would probably have in the region of about 25-30% less run time due to its higher voltage.
Other factors such as low voltage cut off might play into the Lipos favour also... you'd really need to time both types to see.

Ok just installed another BS6 in my Tekno and it looks like there is only 1 profile per bind.
