Sorry, Sorry for your loss. I am OLD, very Old. Air Force Fighter Pilot and modeler for over 60 years. I live with the KISS philosophy -- "Keep it Simple STUPID"". This last Memorial Day weekend I flew my F7F Tigercat and T-28. My F7F has been flying for 5 years and now has a Smoke system in it. You can see it on Youtube and RC Universe. The POINT I would like to make is "I have 17 servos in my F7F and ALL POWERED BY ONE 5 cell 6 volt Sub-C 2500 mah Ni-Cad battery". You still can't beat a Ni-Cad battery for reliability and RUGGEDNESS. I have a 5 cell 6 volt AA Ni-Cad 1000 mah. for my Sullivan Smoke system. DON'T overlook Ni-Cad batteries for the FAD in NEW STUFF. Col. Chuck Winter
