Hi all,
This is my first post here. I am interested in this site since there seems to be alot of info on 2.4 ghz systems.
For over 10 years now my radio has been a Futaba 8UAF on 72 mhz. The radio is still going strong.
I have made a few electronic gadgets for it like a lost plane and low battery alarm and a campac memory module.
I have also made various sized flight packs depending on the plane. NiCad and NiMh.
I still don't have a Lipo charger
Generally my planes are smaller and use mostly micro servos. Ie; Hitec, HS-81 or Futaba 3101,
Hand launch and 2 meter gliders, though I also fly a 4 servo flying wing.
Recently i ordered this system from Hobby King:
FrSky DF 2.4Ghz Combo Pack for Futaba w/ Module & RX (V2)
My question is ; are my 4.8 volt NiCad and NiMH flight packs going to be alright with this new receiver?
I know that the FrSky modules are capable of handling higher voltage packs but are they necessary?
I am also interested in the telemetry capabilities of this setup but I will save those questions for another post.
Thanks for the advice.
Chris
