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
yea you can! Its Called A123! All the benefits of Nicad/Nimh without the pitfalls (false peak, thermal runaway, "memories", etc).
