If you are using a 6 v battery for your receiver pac I was told by a senior club member that you could still use it if it registered 4.8 on the meter--is that correct?

NO,
If it registers 4.8V that means you either have a dead cell or almost dead battery and should not use the battery for flight.

you know it just didn't feel right when he said that. When I have a full charge it is somewhere over 7. When it gets to 6.50 I recharge. Does that seem reasonable?

The minimum safe voltage per cell is 1.1v, so the lowest the pack should get to is 5.5v. If it's down to 4.8v then there is something wrong with the pack as missleman said above.

Thanks guys--The old timer was blowing smoke--maybe wanted to see a crash

Probably just mis-informed. This isn't the same guy that wanted you to pay for the barn roof is it?[:@]
