I hear you, I just did'nt want you or anyone else to think there would be a problem with not using regulators. Especially when your on a tight budget like myself, you want that assurance and saftey without having to spend the big bucks for it and for really good performance. This is why I really admires Wild Hare arfs. They give you a really well desighned arf at a very reasonable price without sacrificing performance or safety. And buy doing a little homework you can get into giant scale at around the same cost as a 1/4 scale glow powered aircraft.
I am putting together a Sukhoi at the moment, I will be using stock wildhare hardware, DL 50 with standard muffler, Hitec digitals all around (5645 and 1 5955 for rudder,mini 225s for throttle and choke) 2 5cell Nimh packs on 2 switches for know until I get the A123 cells and charger. Will start posting Pics later this week.
