But wouldn't it be easier to just plug it in once and forget about it? Especially on larger packs? Good golly gosh YES. But Andrew, we have to remember the guys who like the Sirius like it because it's IDIOT PROOF. I know it's difficult. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If, like me, you have made the move to the larger NiMH packs you can eliminate the need to restart your Sirius Pro every charge by sending it to George at Peak Electronics for upgrading to the Pro+. It's an 'off the menu' option (I've not seen it advertised anywhere) and costs about $35. You'll

As for glitches and how many is too many...I don't have an answer, only some practical experience after years spent with R/C Helicopters (the worst environment for creating glitches) and the BC6. I have to be honest and state that I have re-kitted helicopters because I didn't pay attention to what
