RE: 4.8 vs 6.0 receiver batteries
Just for grins I just went out to the shop to see what I had in the way of batteries in my building box. I only had 4 not being used at the moment but that will probably change this week as I get A couple other planes up and running again for this seasons flying.
The BIG MAMA!!!! A 6 volt 4200 mAh Sub-C with two wires for running two switches.
OK, let me see someone charge this one with A wall wart.
Why do I have A pack this size you ask, it must weigh poundS. It was A CG problem I was having with an Extra 260 and it cured the problem. Much better then just dead weight lead.
A 6 volt 2560 mAh, I really like 6 volt and this is A good pack.
A 4.8 volt 1700 mAh pack by Sanyo. It states on the pack to charge for 14 hours at 170 mAh.
And last and least is the 4.8 volt 1100 mAh Spektrum battery. Why this one?? My LHS now only carries the Spektrum batteries and I was in need.
I like 6 volts but I fly stunt planes with bigger servos and more of them, I like the extra speed and hold I get.
It's just A me thing though and I find no problems with 4.8 volt systems.
I also have several different chargers and haven't use A wall wart in about 10 years, nothing wrong with them either, I just have better chargers and no longer have any.
Use what you like but I think it was Chuck that mentioned A good volt meter, I have A couple of them too.

Charlie.. is that foot-pounds or inch-ounces? Foot pounds sounds like an awful lot of torque to me... almost like torque'ing in a set of head bolts on a Chevy V8!!
The Airtronics Competition Digital High Torque servo has 92 INCH OUNCES of torque with a 4.8 volt pack.

LOL. 70 in-oz. Futaba 3152's. Sorry - I've had tractors on the brain this week. Just got mine back from it's 50 year tune up that was two years overdue.
Though I did see a servo last week that put out 347in-oz. with 4.8v and was "normal" servo size. Yowzer!

My .40 sport planes......4.8v
My nitro monster truck...6.0v
I like to get the most out of the 180 oz servo I installed in my trucks'
steering. I charge my planes after every third flight, and I replace the
packs every other season. I have very few problems. The Hanger 9
packs give me good service.
