Hi Bax,
How long, in general will as set of batteries last on one charge using 5 servos?
I lost my new plane today as a result of a dead battery after 6, 10 to 12 minute flights. The battery pack was about a month old, Sanyo flat pack 700Mah (NiCAD AA cells) that I charged over night. I'm using a Futaba Radio system..
Had a Voltwatch on the side of the plane and didn't look at it the last flight...on the crashed plane the last LED was red.

Had you checked so none of your servos was jamming or going hard (don't know how to spell it) so your servos wasn't draining your battery to fast). I thing that I have around at least 1 hour of flight with my daughter's trainer and that battery (600mAh) is like 5 years old.
