I just plug and unplug, no switch. I also use a 120 mah nimh pack that is the same size and weight of the 50 mah nicd. www. radicalrc.com is who I get my batteries from. With the lipo's you will have to use a regulator which is a weight penalty.

I did not have good luck running 3 cells with the the GWS nano rx. (Worked ok, but got jitters after 9 minutes due to low voltage). I have obtained a stash of Contest grade balsa and am now starting a new build. Also may go to Lithium cell. By the way, is a voltage reg needed for lithiums? and unrelated do you folks unplug/plug the batt into the rx for on/offf or do you use a micro switch and charge jack between rx and batt? I am afraid of wearing out the rx connector pins. Meanwhile, this one flies great!! I can literally fly it in my suburban back yard-- just chuck it up and circle around over the house and yard. I can even get a little slope lift off the back fence! What a kick. --- In BugHLG@yahoogroups.com, "John" <gldrgidr@m...> wrote: > Lone Star Balsa is highly recommended on the Ezone. > www.lonestar-models.com > > Let us know how you do.
