Nice airplanes. Poor attitude toward other power systems.
A123's, no regulator required and charge in 10 minutes. Only possible downside is you need a charger capable of handling that chemistry.
I run 1 2200 pack in all my 50cc planes, one switch, and an optical kill on the ignition.
Edit: that's what works for me, there's plenty of other ways to do it.
Seems the moderator is breaking RCU's own rules "Please reframe from flaming other members" Telling someone they have a poor attitude seems like flaming to me.
Ive used 4.8 volt batteries and 6 volt over the last 20 years of my flying, and I have never had an issue. I use a simple formula for using a gas engine.
1. Use PCM radio only. Of course now there are 2.4 but Im not sold on the reliability of them yet.
2. Separate the ignition system from your radio. I use plastic nyrod for throttle control (so there is not metal to servo connection) and put the ignition battery as far away from the rx battery and rx as possible.
3. Use good quality extensions and heavy duty switchs.
You should be fine.
Keep it simple. Adding gadgets will only drive you nuts finding a problem and will cause more headachs than you get enjoyment from your plane.
