[NSRCA-discussion] NiMH Question, now Banshee kit.

[Bob Richards]

Dean,
   
  Speaking of really old pattern stuff, I held something in my hands today that you probably have not seen in 25 years. A NIB fiberglass Banshee. :-)  Funny thing was, it was a kit that I bought new about 30 years ago, and I was able to track it down through 3 other owners.

  If you pick a good low-leakage Schottky diode like an MBR1100, then there won't be any problem with the diode leakage discharging the battery, and the voltage drop would leave you with better than 4.4V on a 5-cell pack with one open. You can buy them at Digi-Key www.digikey.com .

      Hey Bob,
  Remember the old Orbit ads with the picture of someone flying his plane and then showing the battery with one "cutaway" cell?
