Linear vs. switch mode voltage regulator
Hello,
I am currently putting together a 2M Vanquish and I was wondering why it seems people prefer the linear voltage regulators rather than the switching regulators. I have been using the Castle BEC on my .60 sized planes (off the main powerpack) without any issues. In the case of the Vanquish, I intend to use a 2S lipo regulated to 6V to power the radio system.
I am aware that the switching regulator will generate a ripple but I am wondering if it is significant enough to be noticed.
Thanks,
Teo
