Futaba 149DP & S9206: 6V safe?
Hello guys!
I own a Futaba 149DP receiver that I'm used to run on 4.8V: does it support 5 elements batteries (i.e. more than 6V...)?
Also, I've purchased a servo 9206 and the instructions say that it must be run on 4.8V... why? Anyone has tried 6V on it?
Thank you all for the replies.

RE: Futaba 149DP & S9206: 6V safe?
I am currently flying a plane with 9206's on 6 volts. The servo's were used in a previous plane that I sold the airframe and kept the servo's. The other plane was a 40% Edge and the servo's were all run on 6volts in that plane with no issues. I saw this posting on the Futaba forum and seen where it said that 6 volts would ruin the servo's. Maybe I've been lucky so far but no issues have come of it.... Now it has me wondering???
