i will take a look at that .. just looked at the box on the s9252 and it says ni-cd only explain please didnt see this at first and ran things went fine 1450 &2700 are both NiMH

some of the older nimh cannot take the high burst current draw of digitals. I think it is because of their higher internal resistance, that is despite the fact that they have high capacity. With modern day nimh, you are probably fine. IMHO, since you already spring so much on your servos, why not pay a bit more for a lipo and regulator set up. Regarding the durability of such a set up, if they can survive in high vibration heli set up, they will survive on the plane.

Going to Lithium power source is great (all of my planes have LI-Ions) even my profiles, so take it from someone who has done it. Its not worth the extra money in that plane. Get a good NI-MH and drop the whole regulator thing. Your weights will the same and flight times will be close to the same. IMO, you should yank those digitals out of that plane and put it in something a little bigger (then add the Li-ion batteries). I am flying mine with standard servos and its the wildest plane I own.

i might change the two servos in the wing to standard servos to drop the draw a little but keep the ones in the tail . i do like the response on the alierons from the digital servos .

Question about Fromeco components:

I have two Fromeco adjustable regulators ready to get into a 30%.

I was looking for good switches and noticed the Reliaswitch looks in the pictures on the Fromeco site exactly like the regulators I have.

So my questions are:

Is the Reliaswitch in fact a Fromeco regulator just with an interrupt switch attached to it (these cool pins switches with flags) or is it a completely different product?

If I already own two of these regulators, can I just buy the pin switches and I will have a Reliaswitch, or do I need a completely different product?

Thanks.

If you already have the regulators then just buy a HD switch. You dont have to use Reliaswitches. And yes its just a Regulator and switch preattached from what I have seen. I dont own one but I do own the MPI version. I havent taken it out of the pack yet, but I should sometime within the next couple of weeks.

thanks the triton is what im getting .. as for as the battery with the digital servos go i got eight flights on the 2700mah today i think i will keep the setup i got for now .

What you should be concerned with is the ability to provide the necessary current under load. A 1500 ma NiCad can provide more current to the digital servos than a 2700 Sanyo Nihm and on-par with a single 2400 Fromeco li-ion. A new low internal resistance 1950 Sanyo Nihm is smaller and lighter and will out perform both the 2700 Nihm and a single 2400 Li-ion Fromeco. (most people double up the 2400 Fromeco to get 8amps of current needed for mutable (6-7) digital servos). Lipo's on the other hand have very good ability to provide high levels of current, but have not yet been accepted buy the large scale RC world. For 3-5 digital servos you are OK with about any of the choices mentioned.

I talked to Fromeco and they were very helpful.

I just sent in the Super Regulators for a minor modification and they will become Super Reliaswitches.

I'll be able to use the regulator as full switches with the cool little 'remove before flight' pins. They have great large heat sinks and will be able to take the load.

I've read some negative feedback about MPI regulators somewhere on this board. Search if you are intersted. The pros use Fromeco, or so it seems from the stickers on their planes...
