| Assuming NiCd batteries (probably what came with your radio), you can just leave everything on for several hours. Overnight may be a little excessive, but shouldn't hurt anything. HOWEVER-- if the Tx goes first, depending on the radio (i.e. no failsafe, if it is a Spektrum or similar, not a problem), the servos can "freak out" and run to their stops when they lose the signal. If you "excercise" the setup by running all your gear, more than likely the Rx will go first, and you may still see servos go nuts, but not nearly as extreme. If you are setting up a new system or new helicopter, charge them and then just leave everything on while you are setting up. This can easily burn the batteries down as it can take quite a while to get pitches and throws set right, especially if you are new to it. |
