Depends what transmitter ?? ... and also if its generic to the model ... need more info lol .......Most of us run either futaba or jr/spekky which is built rechargable pack .. mine seems good for a days flying .. but i charge it up thenight before i go to the field

If he's talking about "Changing" his batteries Mike at a guess he might be using a DX6i or similar..

He's offline at the moment but will confirm later I presume..

Those dont have a battery pack .. hmm ....it will beep when it gets low n e way ... mine does .. when it drops to bout 9.6 i land and charge ...

[Ollie219]

at the moment i've got the E-FLY 100 c (comes with the mini pred v2 kit) but i will definatly be purchasing a DX6i in the near future.

Think our club has banned the DX6i

why is that phil?? have you bought one!!!

[Smoothound]

No I haven't I have a proper radio, that feels like a radio


It's banned because it uses dry cells not a soldered pack. Apparently there is a BMFA directive about it??

[Boggy]

by the way ollie you tx has a low voltage alarm and will bleep when the batteries get low!! (page 5 of the manual)

[Mike W]

At t he end of the day the BMFA are guidelines only ...I would never run a plane/heli Tx on thoese sort of batteries ...but even the batteries we use can go wrong ... But if ya gonna use single batteries and not a pack . .use high capacity rechargable nimhs for it ...
