    i use a123 the yellow 18650s from 2011 in that time had 3 / 10 gone bad now using hk zippy cheaper for a made up pack than i was paying for one cell as with all batteries they dont last forever but if your going to use 2 packs in one plane connected together one goes bad can drag them all down i have had more lipos fail than A123 in that time

    to answer your question about changing to 2.4 no its not hard you take out the 35 meg rx and replace it with a 2.4 but make sure your pluging right servo lead into right plug they not all follow futaba and of coarse you will need the same brand of tx 2.4 is not like 35 any make works there many brands to pick from spektrum and futaba is very common is most shops there are orange and lemon that make rx that works with other but make sure it say its for your tx but look and fix your problem

    Posted by Jim Carss on 02/07/2013 10:17:35: I do it this way,as you look at the front of the tank,drill out the bottom fight nipple and bring the tubing out through the bottom of the cowl ( don't forget to put a bung in the tube ) You can just see the drain tube behind the silencer pressure nipple thats a great way with those tanks and many thanks irvine running well

    the orange rx is same sort of range as a AR6110 which is a park fly rx which at our field is 400m if that if the rx failsafe wasnt tested then how do you now it was set the orange 6ch is a great rx when used great its a shame it crashed on a test flight you done for someone else and its so easy for us all to jump in and say this should of been done but when your stood there with a mate its hard to go and check everything its makes them look silly it really puts people off test flying someone model

    timer beeps every minute if you dont want it then dont set a timer when changing a setting it beeps and on trim which cant be turned off mind you if you cut it out prob wouldnt hurt battery i put 2 cell life in back the put charge and balance lead in battery compartment 6.8 volts but you do need to keep eye on it as if you leave it battery alarm then you got a bad battery and sudden drop in voltage

    you need a ubec to cut voltage down to rx voltage around 5volts better to use life also known as A123 battery as a 2 cell is 6.6 volts and you use them without any ubec or if you on electric motors check see if your esc got bec built in or connect up a ubec to same lipo
