<DIV>I was trying to get the tech info that would tell me just how far down a
battery can be drawn before it poses a problem.</DIV>
<DIV>Yes, I have taken all the other aspects you mentioned into consideration.
</DIV>
<DIV>My 3 flights averaged 120 ma used per flight so it looks like 4 flights is
safe with a 50% reserve. I will have drawn 500ma from the 1100 pack.</DIV>
<DIV>Yes, I do ESV between all flights.</DIV>

<DIV>One thing to keep in mind is "flight" can mean different things to
different people. To some, a flight is two times through the masters sequence
with a some additional work on a manuever or two. To someone else (like me) a
flight is once through the Advanced sequence with work on a couple of
manuvers. My typical consumption is 100mAH per flight, which is a valid number
only for me flying my airplane, with all equipment functioning properly. With
a 1650mAH NiMH pack I am comfortable flying 8 times, roughly half of the
pack's capacity. I measure the voltage between flights to gaurd against
some unknown such as a binding servo suddenly drawing more current. I
recommend you calculate your own "per flight battery consumption" and not rely
on other's observations. <BR><BR></DIV><BR><BR>Bob
