When a receiver battery goes low...
....what is affected first, the signal or the servos?[X(]
I know I should have a larger battery than the 600mah nicad I was using. I estimate about an hour total time. I was landing and swinging out wide a couple hundred yards away, and I was getting what seemed like an intermittent signal. The throttle was already down which was good. Luckily or not, it was a Kadet Sr. which was slowly flopping around, it would occassionaly respond then flip the other way. Somehow i got it to pancake in and just put a simple crack in the wing and some split monocoat several places.
Is it my understanding that with 2.4 radios, the Rx needs to talk to the Tx. So if the RX battery is low could it have a problem at a distance? Searching here on RCU they seem to claim the servos get sluggish first, but those were very old posts, from FM days.
Thx
