Default RE: Odd current draw problem with switches

Gotcha, I suspected as much. I have some glow planes that stay on trickle on a DigiPulse too, and if I take them off trickle, I can still pump more mah in with an Orbit peak charge.

I flew 4 flights yesterday and the batteries performed very well... I think I'm OK. After four flights at 8-10 min each I put them back on peak detect slow charge. The 1400 IGN took about 450 in, and the 2100 RX took about 700 in. So they both used about a third of their batteries capacity to get 4 flights in, and the voltage was still in acceptable range.

I think I'm OK, but I'll keep my eye on them and be sure to top them off before flying.

Thanks,

Tom
