Default RE: smart fly turbo regulator?


ORIGINAL: ddennison

I am looking for a a way to check the regulator function before or after flight. Aside from an inline voltmeter after the regulator, I am not aware of any such "alarm" on the Smartfly. I did like that the Gemini regulator (although for smaller planes) has a light for each "output" so you can tell at a glance if things are working...

I know I can check the battery with a load test, and I do that before each flight to check the batteries....

I wish Jetcat would just put a small generator device on the turbine so we could just switch to onbard power!

The power coming out of the Turbo Reg on the right and left side come from the same spot. If you have one battery unplugged both outputs are still powered. I am not sure what you want to check at that point.
