Does anyone know what happens when your flying your IRIS and the battery voltage gets too low?Also, has anyone replaced the AA batteries with a lipo? And if so what type and how does it work for you?

I put 8 2500mah NMh rechargeables in my transmitter. I then took a 5 volt 350ma dc wall charger and soldered a charging plug to it that is compatible with the Flysky. Now I just plug that charger into the transmitter.
I went down that path and use the LiPo listed. Very happy with it.
When the voltage goes low the transmitter should warn you (beep). If the voltage goes so low that the transmitter fails IRIS should initiate a failsafe. Unfortunately it appears that sometimes they forget to configure the failsafe in the factory. You therefore might want to validate that it is configured and working: http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/throttle-failsafe/#Testing_for_cor...

I try to never get below 10.4 volts.
