A minimum 2,000mAh receiver battery could be
used, but you will have to closely monitor the battery’s
capacity and voltage to avoid draining the battery

more suitable and provide more fl ight time between
charges. Following are two suitable battery packs:
❏ HydriMax
™
Ultra 4.8V 4,200 mAh sub C NiMH
receiver battery w/Futaba connector (HCAM6335)
