1. Does the battery hot caption still work with lead acid batteries? Or is it only with nickel cadmium batteries?

NO: Lead acid batteries do not go into the condition "thermal run-away" as ni-cads do. Though with the newer type of ni-cad battery it seldom happens.

2. What does the battery relay warning caption alert you to?

Battery is off or disconnected from the charging system.

3. What does the button on the top of the control panel, marked PASS INT stand for?

Don't know.

4. What is the maintenance schedule like for the Bell 206?

Depends on the operator approved maintenance schedule. The 206 is not know for being maintenance intensive.

5. How much fuel does the 206 use in start and run up. I was told that 15 lbs - is that about right?


Don't know.

In crusie about 27 GAL US /hour
