RE: does this sound normal?
Mike... I haven't flown in a while either and ran into the same thing on a 2000mAh NiMh. Doing a little reading and I guess they have a relatively high self-discharge rate. The Sanyo Eneloop cells supposedly don't have this problems. I cycled mine a couple times and it held the rated capacity so I guess it is OK.
Between the rain, the fog and all the crap I have going on right now this is the longest dry spell I've had off from flying in a long time.<br type="_moz" />
