I charged up my batteries last night with all intentions of going flying this morning. Due to unforseen items I will not be able to go until tomorrow morning. My question is, should I charge the batteries again? I do not have a cycler. Should I turn on the trans. and receiver for a few hours and then recharge??
You will be fine. If it was going to be 3 or 4 days, then I would suggest putting them back on the charger.
I would not suggest turning on the transmitter and receiver then going away for a few hours. If you want to do it that way, turn them on, then play with (move) the controls for about 30 - 45 minutes. MAKE SURE THE ANTENNA IS FULLY EXTENDED ON THE TRANSMITTER - there have been several reports of transmitters overheating when the transmitter is on for extended periods of time (over 10 minutes ) with the antenna collapsed.
