Well,

Charlie, Nick and I were out flying in the back yard tonight and I lost sight of my little Beast and put it in the top of a 50' tree Looks like will have to wait for the wind to blow it out kind of thinking it will be a write off buy the time it comes out

Talking about Futabaizeing, I take it that you have to call for tech support and not try e-mails?? Been sending e-mails to 2 weeks with no reply about Charlie's bad battery. Going to order a Fromeco battery to fix the problem

Try you new radio out in a small plane first. Charlie's new 8FG came with a bad battery out of the box. He way lucky that he was flying his foamie when we found out.

Not sure why that is. My DX8 has the same type of battery just a little larger and I only have to charge every 2 weeks. I would not think that the current draw would be much more then the DX8

I have cycled it 5 times now and each time it's only got 599mah in it. Interested to see what you get.

Been in the hobby over 26 yrs and have had all 5 makes and never see a TX battery go down this fast
