    Hi there. Just a quick question. I was wandering if anyone knew of a lipo 2S that I could use as a replacement TX battery for my Futaba T8FG.
    Thanks

    I looked, but didn't see one Kat....so ended up just buying the same one as is in the 85FG.

    Seems odd to me that RC Transmitter battery technology lags behind laptops. For exampe, you cannot power the Tx like a laptop: plug in external power and it uses that to operate and charge the internal battery; lose external power, and it switches over to the internal battery.

    Ah well, another mystery....
    Andy.
