batteries (VTD)

[Don]

Hi Owen,

Battery Power and RCT:

The charge time for the batteries (Nickel Metal Hydride) are a little over
the time for a tuning and pitch raise. So if you find the power going down
then plug in and charge. I personally carry a spare fully charged battery as
well as the power adapter.
