Well, Bubba, you're memory hasn't gone.... Yes, ALL of my airplanes, ARE exclusively 5955's, and I will not run anything else in a large airplane. There ain't a gear set out there that holds up as well, and that is worth a premium to me because it means "uptime", and "reduced maintenance". Both of those are classic "good things".

Re battery consumption - I just converted to A123 cells, using the FMA Cell Pro charger. That configuration does a real FINE job of analyzing capacity, and measures the ma put back.

The other day, I flew a lot of high-ly stressful, high G aerobatics on my Cap. Total of 70 minutes airtime. Total ma used was 895. And that was 8 flights. So... my 5955's drew about 110 mah through those flights. Meaning that the 2300 mah capactity of the A123's left me PLENTY to spare.

Next up --- +5v, fast response, 5A linear regulator to permit me to run my ignition off the A123 Rx pack. Thus dumping the ignition battery. Another "good thing"..... assuming it works. I'll post back with results after I run some tests.
