Status: offline 		Ok I know it's not "Recommended" or should I say "Blessed by Futaba" to put a Lipo battery in my 8FG transmitter but I was frustrated having to recharge every 5 flights or so with the standard battery and really only a 700mHa battery in a new transmitter in this day and age. I can fly all week long now and only have to charge once a week. With that said are there any plans to update the software to adjust the low battery cut off/ Alarm so that we who do use the Lipo wont have to worry about damaging a battery? I love the radio it has all you can ask for in a 2.4gHz radio but I think there should have been an upgrade to the lack luster transmitter battery that came with it.

Status: offline 		With how easy it is to update the software in the 8FG can I at least request the ability to adjust the low voltage cut off/alarm for the Transmitter battery. This wouldn't have to be a "Futaba endorsement" for the use of another battery more like an inhancment.
