Futaba 4YF Skyport ?
Hey Guys, I just purchased a 4YF Sykport and I can't find in the instructions what the red and green LED light stand for. I charged the batteries for 12 hours and both the red and green are on. Does this mean that I have good voltage? Can someone please explain. Thanks Scott!

RE: Futaba 4YF Skyport ?
IF I remember ( and it is the same as my 9C) the red one means power.....it will blink if the battery is low, be solid if the battery is OK...
and the green means the RF is functioning...ie: it is broadcasting its signal...
when would that be off? when on a buddy box, using a flight sim, etc.
but again that is my 9c, but it sounds good, eh?

I have the 4YF and the lights are not set up like the 9C.
When Power is good, both lights are on.
When power gets low (time to recharge), the green goes off and only the red will shine.
When power gets even lower (RECHARGE!) the red light will blink.
I don't know if all red lights will blink on a 4YF--it does on mine. But I wouldn't wait that long. I only found out about the blinking by a fluke--must have been up too long and started with the TX pack on the low side.
