Hello,

I am in the middle of assembling my ARF Kadet LT 40 and came across 2 questions. I am using an Airtronics RDS8000 radio with 4 standard Hitec servos.

Question 1: I am looking for a battery pack that will charge from the charger that came with my radio. The instruction booklet recommends a 4 cell 4.8V Nicad pack but does not specify how much capacity it should have. Since the Tx comes with a 700 Mah pack, I assume I don't need much more for the Rx? Would this Hitec pack keep the Rx up with my Tx? It is 12 bucks, and 600mah. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXN731&P=7


Question 2: From the reading I have done, it seems like the most common cause of a crash causing a total loss is a failure of the switch or Rx battery. Would it be a good idea to use 2 switches and/or 2 battery packs? Is this even possible and how would I go about wiring it up?

Thanks for any info.
