I guess I just feel more comfortable with the higher voltage reserve since voltage is essentially pressure. Reminds me of my waterhose on my well system. I can tell when my pressure is dropping by the performance of my water flow. But when my well pump kicks on and the pressure comes up my water flow improves dramatically. I know that's not the best anology to use but, that's what I think of when I hear a manufacturer is running the low voltage. It just gives me the PERCEPTION that they are running the minimum with no reserve or they are trying to save production cost by running a minimal battey. Xpress, I too gang batteries on my aerobatic planes but I'm wanting to get in to some scale things that might use additional different channels. Thank you both for your responses.
