Anyone? Cool, I'm there for ya.
Both the servos and the RX are, essentially, on the same bus. Thus, the
voltage to one is the same as the voltage to another. Your description
sounds like the servo simply requesting more energy than the battery can
provide and the voltage drops dramatically.

Yes, but there is an inherent problem with that in our charging
scheme. If the current happens to get changed during the charge cycle, then
the ability for the computer to determine the correct shutdown timing would
become compromised and false peaks would become normal.

For all the guys who buy the R610's and take the cases off to save

and is much better than no covering if you happen to remove the case.

Here is my guess...and this is just a guess.
The servos require a certain amount of voltage to work. Moving the servo

Once the load is taken off of the battery, the voltage will jump up a little
bit.

If you're fussy, the correct antenna length depends upon the frequency.
Wavelength = Speed of Light / frequency

An non resonant antenna length of 39" will work on all RX's operating @ 72MHz.
A couple of inches either way? I know I don't have the equipment here at work
sensitive enough (our SA's, NA's, FC's, are only around $45,000 ea) to measure
such a small change (dBm) in se
Nope, same rules up here in Canuckland. The TX front end requires tuning,
whereas the RX does not (in most cases). This is precisely why modules were
designed to be interchangeable...they contain the front circuitry "with" the
XTAL that it was originally tuned to.
Quoting Ben Diss <[EMAIL PROT
No problem. They were designed to meet the FCC requirements as they are the
RF part of the transmitter.

The bottom line remains. Make the wire between 39 and 41 inches, plus or

A totally non-resonant antenna would transfer 0 power and you would
