Chip, Soon I don't think you will need that regulator. Hitec just released a new set of receivers and they are all rated for 3.7 to 7.4V. Funny but that maps to 1 and 2 cell lithium. ;-)
Best Regards, Ed Anderson From: Chip Willis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: soaring@airage.com Subject: Lithium Ion batteries Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> FWIW, I haven't seen many people discuss it, but I have been using Li-ion batteries for a while. I flew the entire two day contest at the Fall round up, on a single charge. I use Fromeco 2400 two cell batteries, and I checked the voltage periodically and I had plenty to spare. I could have flown for another two hours I estimate. Again, this is in a 3 servo Ava so not too much draw there. I use a MPI 6v regulator to step down the volts, and so far so good. I am building a Supra now, and It is quite an investment, so i'm thinking of running dual batteries in it. I was flying giant scale and running dual rx batteries is almost standard over 30 percent airplanes, and with the sizes available, redundancy kinda makes sense. Anyone else doing this or thinking of it? Chip RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
