A good friend of mine just lost his great flying Integral after installing the CDI to his YS170. He was using a futaba fast 2.4 system batteried by a fromeco 2600mah 7.4v lipo regulated with a Jaccio 5.7v regulator. He apparently had a Y harness after the regulator, with one end going to the receiver and the other end going to a switch that went to the CDI. He had two great flights with his new system however on the third flight about half way thru his routine the motor suddenly quit and followed by locked out radio. The plane unfortunately went in after having no response, and was only about 150 ft in the air when this happened. Loss of motor and signal to crash was about 3-4 sec.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with a similiar setup? and was also wondering if the Jaccio regulator may have been the possible cause for not being able to hold the amp load as the battery pack discharged... What are the amp loads of the CDI?? Any other thoughts are welcome. This left a few of us in our group baffled. I realize seperate battery system may have been safer for him, but I'm curious if the Jaccio regulator can handle the duo amp load from the receiver/servos and the CDI combined??

Thanks
Doc
