RE: What IBEC to buy?
I agree... I'll do a linear version at $25 MSRP. I just boxed 500 tonight going to TBM... so I think they both work.
I was skeptical of a linear version but you have convinced me to offer both. The linear is also going to drop at least 0.25V under heavy load so you can not use 4C Nicc/niMh with it or you will havea low voltage goingto CDI. Switchers become a pure on/off switch once batteries get low. You should not fly that low anyway... but you have proven to me that all of these advantages are not needed and I should come out with a lower cost unit which I will in about 60 days.
