Default RE: 11.1V LiPo for TX?


ORIGINAL: dick Hanson

You want a Lipo in your tx
DO IT
If things go wrong - you have no one to blame but yourself
The manufacturer says don't do it
there is no really good reason to do it
except you want to do it
so do it.
Excellent, now that I have your blessing I guess I just might. Oh and by the way, I got word from Futaba that it's fine, in fact there's a setting in the radio to change to a LiPo. So lighten up. Don't be a jerk just because you can, that makes people hate you, and who wants that?

I flew all day Sunday with my LiPo installed in the radio. I had the radio on a total of 4.4 hours and the battery was still at 10.9 volts. Normally I would have had to charge my radio twice with that much flying. So, I'm very happy with the results. For those of you that offered up usefull suggestions, thank you. For those of you that are just bitter and sore, well, enjoy it
