Opjose,
yeah some would say that it adds undue complexity would'nt they. After all, thats a typical arguement for ''not invented here'' syndrome. FACT is we participate in a highly technical hobby with equipment that is often more complex than most of us grasp. We are surrounded by complexity in Radio Control. Just open a TX. How many solder joints can fail there? A battery pack? How we survive is through managing risk and taking APPROPRIATE action.
If an extra battery adds complexity then perhaps we should pack up and return to free flight rubber band powered stick planes.
ROTFL....
My thoughts exactly, but all to often what we are actually dealing with gets overlooked in the over-simplifications that are made.
