Thank you for the explanation I will dig deeper in the thread
The red light comes on as noted when you reach peak rpm. 2/3 throttle is normal for the red light and lift off the stock radio and battery. With a programmable radio, you can set it to come on about 5% below full throttle. Even with lipos you'll still get the light. As long as you're not seeing it at 1/2 throttle or less you should be OK.

Charrua--where you guys been? Miss your vids.

With Lipo's and correct pitch adjustment you won't see red until the battery is just starting to fade. The red light may be illuminating at near to full collective, even with solid battery charge, but you can't see the 4:1 when it's above eye level.
