Now I have the Tx countdown timer set to a value that is very conservative, in essence it just tells me I have been flying for 4 minutes and I should expect low voltage warnings soon. This way when my transmitter next alerts me I know it is a voltage alert. I've been using this in a very efficient airplane (Freewing 80mm T-33) and flights from 5-8 minutes are possible based on pack demand and relying on telemetry which is terrific. I suppose a count down timer is not even necessary at this point but old habits die hard...
Yeah for my Turbines and large electric Helis it would be nice to have some more detailed timer info other than you have 5 seconds left.....
