Thanks. Sig does a nice job with this ARF. I've never flown a Kadet. I'm looking forward to it.
Onboard glow works well with 72. This unit was originally installed in my 1/4 Spacewalker with a Magnum 1.60 twin, on 72.. I put it in my Kadet because it was sitting idle. I use the units from Electro Dynamics, which are a snap to install and set up.

I guess that I should have paid more attention to battery maintenance.
I'll look into it in the morning, but it's a simple matter to disconnect it, and use an ignitor until I can replace the battery pack.
