Servo Batteries
My radio has a light on it that blinks when the batteries start losing their power. But how do you know when your servo batteries are dieing? what are the warning signs?

Servo Batteries
Greetings!
If you are fairly new to this sport it pays to experiment and take notes of almost everything for a while. For example, charge both tx and rx up fully and turn them both on while at home for the afternoon. Wiggle the sticks to exercise the servos and use current from time to time. When the control surfaces begain to twitch and go dead take a look at the clock and see whether the rx or tx died first. Of course you would not get as long at the field (from the rx battery) if you were exercising the servos more than you did at home.
Best of luck,
Ernie
