Hi Rense,
Great Planes recommends a maximum discharge rate of 8C for that pack. Whether or not that's the max continuous or max burst discharge is unclear, so I'd take it as the burst rate. You continuous discharge rate would probably be more in the range of 6C with some airflow.
If your Aveox power system is drawing 7.2A or less, then you're laughing. If you're at 9.6A or under then you can still use the battery, but for no more than 30 seconds at a time with a good length of recovery time with airflow over the pack during the glide.
Remember that these are merely guidelines, check the temperature after a good climb and never let the pack exceed recommended max or you may have a new smoke system followed by fireworks!!
If you need more current, then look at the new Thunder Power Generation 2 packs, or Kokam's High Discharge packs, or Tanic's packs. You'll find what you're looking for, just be wary of the treatment these batteries receive.
Hope this helps, just ask if you need more detail.

Subject: [RCSE] Li-Po battery question
HELP! Being new to electrics, I am wondering if the Great Planes
Lithium-Polymer 1200mAh 11.1V 3-Cell Pack would be ok for use in my 2M Renny
electric. I has an Aveox 2713 motor, with Phoenix 25 amp Brushless
Sensorless Speed Control. Is something else better? I want to keep the plane
as light as possible for better soaring. Anyone?
