RE: Timer?
I run a timer for all my flights. For the radios I have that don't have timers on them I have a cheap baking timer that I purchased at Wal-mart that I use. I have a clothes pin on the back of it and I just clip it to the handle on my radio. Since it counts down I don't have to look at it to see my time, the timer beeps when it's time to land.
