It's a JR PROPO radio control transmitter. JR expressly forbid LiPo packs in
their Tx's cos without regulation the high voltage (a 3 cell lipo is 12.6
volts fresh off charge) can kill the linear regulator in the radio.

I tend to charge the transmitter overnight on a friday night ready to go
flying on saturday morning.

thanks for your input
