Battery question

[Brian Young]

Im flying a 1400 mah nicad pack, analog on throttle
digi on everything else.

I go no more than three flights of masters two times
through each flight, I put back in 1100-1200 mah. So,
Im leaving very little reserve. I would rather use
only half the pack and fly four times, but that means
changing to lithium batteries so next plane I will do
that.

BTW I almost learned the hard way about this. Before I
knew this I landed after four flights and as I taxied
back I noticed my ailerons kind of slowly waiving up
and down. Checked the pack and it was nearly gone.
