I actually measured the power consumption a few years ago. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.models.rc.air/msg/5a0063936df977d3 In any event, I'll bet you could find the synthesized module pretty cheap nowadays, as people are going 2.4 GHz. A channel 40 module would be even cheaper, but might be hard to find. Try ebay, rcgroups if RCSE doesn't come through. -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Everything in excess!
