Default Why bother with a flight pack?

I used to have 7 radios and just got sick of keeping track of what is charged, what is cycled and what is not. This works nice. I am down to just 3 radios.
This was my point. I'm down to one radio (for the moment), and it really IS just a matter of programming yourself to look at the plane you just finished fueling, then looking at your radio display to make sure that's the one your trying to fly!

I regularly take three planes to the field with me now, and I fly each one of them two or three times. It takes me (at most) pushing buttons seven times to change between planes. It's become so easy that I almost don't have to think about it. Charging one transmitter all the time, and knowing I have the right one, is really nice too.

Remembering to charge three planes is my only issue now, but I usually charge one on a wall wart, one on my old peak charger in the shop, and one on my Super Nova on the ride to the field.

Montague,
I've been looking at the Polk transmitters. Are you happy with yours? Price doesn't seem too bad, but is a bit misleading because it doesn't include Rx or servos.
