Turbo Reg and edr 111 setup - 8/16/2007 3:55:26 AM

I recently had a problem with a 2.4 ghz system and the reason seems to point to a voltage drop. (smart fly products were not involved). I have a 100cc plane that I would also like to protect from an issue such as this. I have a EDR-111 that I would like to run on one of the 2 planes I have 2.4 on. My question is, can I use the second output from the turbo reg to go to the reciever, and the first to the servos? Or, if for some reason I had a voltage drop due to servo draw with the first channel on the TR, would the voltage drop also be seen on the second output. Or are these two independent systems.

OR

If I use a power system sport plus on my 50cc bird, will I be safe from the reciever ever experiencing a voltage drop..

Do the power expanders do the same thing that the EDR 111 does

Basically I need to ensure I don't have the same problem again.

I apologize for my schzitzophrenic rambling.. I hope you follow

Hi,
The PowerExpanders and the EDR 111 are different. The PowerExpanders take two power sources in and send them to the servos. It then takes those same two inputs and filters it, regulates it down to 5.0V and sends it to the receiver. The receiver regulator has an extra capacitor on it to insure that glitches from the servos do not get through to the receiver. The EDR 111 actually separates the receiver power from the servo power. You are "suppose" to supply independent power to the receiver and servo inputs. What I don't like about the EDR 111 type units is that if you loose either power source, receiver or servos, you loose the plane. With the PowerExpander, if you loose one power source the other will take over. The TurboReg's two outputs are just tied together, what happens to one output will happen to the other output. That said, the TurboReg can source a huge amount of current so that voltage drops are practically non-existent.

We tested the PowerSystem Sport Plus in a 100cc Aeroworks 260 Quickbuild with eight JR 8711s. It performed flawlessly. We still are recommending that it only be used up to 85cc planes because the battery connectors are standard R/C plugs that can handle 3 amps each and we fell a 100cc plane with 8711s pushes that.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
