any merit in running dual battery packs ?

[Dean Pappas]

I can still picture the old Orbit ad in my head, the Pattern plane used as a test case was a Super Duck. I think it was the successor to the Cold Duck, which was presented as a construction article in RCM a million years ago.

Dean,
 
I did not know Orbit did that. I know Proline did. I loved those Competition single-stick radios.

Hi Ron,
Nickel tends to fail short. That's actually good. Once upon a time, Orbit sold its packs with diodes across each cell to protect against failed-open cells.
