Re: G-DJAD radio problems

Barry,

Thanks for your comprehensive reply, some of which is definitely beyond me!! Though I have gained some knowledge from it - thank you.

I also agree with you, Roger's work is indeed first class and always very neatly undertaken.

Re: G-DJAD radio problems

Re: G AZPA

Re: Lithium batteries

I too can echo Adrian's comments. I run two Pbq 10a models on the Pilatus and can switch from No.1 to No.2 if needed, but, can report that this has never been necessary.
