low do you folks take them before you stop flying? An Futaba-sponsored
pilot in my area takes his 9z down to the low voltage alarm before he changes
batteries.. Not as cycling, mind you, but in flight. I've seen him walk
off of the flight line with TX beeping low battery... I have
never had the courage to keep a plane in the air past about 9.3 V. I think
it starts beeping at about 8.6? What's a generally accepted
cutoff?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

add to Tony's info. A good 1100 mah battery in the ZAP will drop to
about 9.7 pretty quickly, however it will stay at 9.7 to 9.6 for a long
time. This is still more than you really
need.<BR><BR>JB<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></FONT></BODY></HTML>
