Batteries > Giant Scale Application

Q-105: I’m contemplating my first large scale model aircraft. My initial plans indicate the need for at least 10 servos. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on this subject and have determined that I must be very conscious of my current drain from my airborne battery pack. I also gather that my choice of wiring must also be able to support the higher current levels.

Should I just be considering higher capacity batteries and heavier gage wire, or is there something on the market that can help me with my new aircraft project?
