battery checkers</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Since it appears my new plane
crash was due to a "new" battery failure or some kind of high drain, it is
time to get back into the habit of checking the stinkin' batteries before
every flight. This is a habit I had early on, but 8 years in pattern and no
battery problems made me lazy. I used to have that cheapo $19.95 hobbico
Expanded Volatge reader or some such, but what is out there that I really
should be using for my new $2000+ airplane? Please let me know what you
guys think! <BR></FONT><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR><BR><BR>Gray
