Acro 350+ BB drive on Bleriot II ?

I'm thinking of putting an Acro 350+ on my Bleriot II and using it for outdoor flights on calm evenings. Anyone with any experience doing this? Also, what battery pack would you use?

I just converted my Hobby Lobby Albatros DV from a 280 to a 280BB which has much more power (around 50-60 watts depending on prop as compared to 25-30 watts with the 280). The difference is amazing. It climbs like an angel and has much more power than I need for level flight, but it is nice to have when you want it.

What battery are you running to feed the thing? I need to keep things really light but the 280BB looks like it can pull 8A.

I use 8x550NiMh from Hobby Lobby. With all the power, I need only a part of it to cruise with--3 amps or so.
