Joe, I started out using two Concord 25AH RGB each weighing 22 lbs for a total of over 44 lbs of battery (some joked I could get home by using the start to crank the prop {:>)) !   I then transition to two Odyssey PC-680 17AH batteries each weighing 14 lbs for a total of 28 lbs.  Then after 6 years of flying with two batteries and never using the second one - except to help crank on a cold morning, I removed one of them.  Have now been flying for over 4-5 years with one Odyssey 14lbs.  I swap it out every two years.

What size an type of batteries are required for the rotary?  I am leaning toward using 2 batteries and use Bob Nuckols system.  Thanks for any help.
