How many batteries do you need for the remote?

Tsuru was trying to sell these to JAL to replace their Boeing birds, so I bought one, but the batteries were not included.

Say what you want to say, but these babies are certainly more roomy than JAL Y-class seats ;)

Seriously though, they should be ashamed of themselves. For a country that has produced so many great, indigenous aircraft all the way up to the 1980s the bulk of the once majestic J-aircraft industry is now forever destined to be the US' bitch as no.1 supplier to Boeing.
