Well you guys have convinced me to give these a try. I have never lost a plane due to low batteries, but I'll admit, I don't check the voltage after each flight either. I do have an ESV that I use to check the plane every 3 or so flights, but based on what I've read here, that's akin to playing "Russian Roulette". Well, that and the visual from Missleman have forced me to re-think my ways!

Seriously though, several club members have these on planes and in this man's opinion makes them look completely goofy. [:'(] That's the main reason I've stayed away. I will have to use some of the techniques discussed ealier to hide the ugliness without loosing the functionality.

It won't be hard to incorporate this into planes I am currently building - retrofitting into older planes might be more of a challenge.
