replaced 600mah nicads with 1100 mah nicads - was this a bad move?

Not true, NiCd cells are charged by constant current.. not voltage, in fact the voltage required to charge an 8 cell pack (most tx's) is 8 * 1.7v (approx) which is around 13.6v. Thats why most cheap...

irvine 53 fuel leaks

24 hour epoxy will do the job, and its easy to remove when you need to as it is quite brittle.
