Matt,
 
       Yes, I am still using NiMH
onboard.  I understand them, they are easy to charge and measure the
capacity.  Only about 1 oz. heavier than a LiPo. However, I buy a new 
one
at Toledo every other year for $19.95.

  this email started, I thought he was selling the crate for the

  listed.

Definitely a good idea to check the airborne pack before the
  first
flight of the day. Speaking of airborne packs, I am still using NiMH
  in
the plane.....the blasted thing keeps on going like the Eveready bunny

after 5 years of service with about the same output. NiCd never lasted

that long and we all know about LiPo. Anyone else using "old"

technology bats with similar life span?

BlankZN
  Enigma.....$2000.00

Futaba ZAP WCII Radio System.....$600.00

TP

All20the begging and pleading with my
  wife to allow me to get this
unit.......$?????.??

Futaba BR-2000
  Battery Checker....$60.00

Remembering to include a battery check and
  actually performing the
battery
check in a
  preflight..........PRICELESS



I was at the field after the
  thundershowers had passed at about 8:30
this
evening.  The sun was
  low in the sky.

I put the plane together and installed the moter
  battery thinking I
have to
hurry if I want to get a few flights in. I
  then attached the BR-2000
and was
shocked to see that the reciver pack
  was way low.

Needless to say flying ended before it began and the plan
  is now on the
charger.

Preflights are
  essential.



Cheers

Walter
