Default RE: How do you provide 12VDC power?

Is that setup very heavy? What kind of runtimes? Where did you get a switching regulator?

In case your wondering, yes I'm new to this
Heavy is an operative term. If you're flying SS type of aircraft or electric in general, everything is heavy.

My plane is a 22 pound Fuji BT32 powered gasoline plane with 102 inch wing span. Its not a heavy set up for my plane. Run times on a 2000 mah pack are somewhere around 4 hours. I only get 1 hour flight times on a full tank of gas though so I get done what I need to long before the batteries are exhausted.

I get the switching regulator from here. http://www.dimensionengineering.com/DE-SW0XX.htm
