I'm brand new to electrics and have a question.

Can I use the 9.6 V 8 cell NiCd from my old Futaba transmitter to power my new GWS Slow Stick if I solder the proper connector on?

\Thanks for the help.

I guess anything is possible but this is not advised. First off the old pack is very heavy. Second the pack is likely down on capacity and third the cells used were designed for low current.

I suggest to invest a few dollars and get a couple new packs of the right size and capacity from a e-flight vendor.
