Hey Ray, hows the M146 project coming? I hear you have been painting and installing new landing gear; where are the pictures? We all want to see and hear about your progress!!![thumbzup]

You can jump to one battery at a time. Make sure you don't try to jump both batteries in series. If you are going to jump one battery at a time; don't hook the ground of the jumper cables to the M35A3 chassis. Hook the jumper cables to the battery terminals only.
