Here's the debrief on the maiden.
Setup
uralite Electronic switch (2 regulators, 5.9V), dual LIPOs (1500 MAH), 15% Nitro, 8% oil. (I'm a sport flyer currently, with an interest in pattern); The batteries were plugged into the receiver (JR 921, 2.4Ghz) and a switch from the receiver powered the ignition. 18.1x10 prop.
After five flights, all lasting 12 to 14 mins, the batteries read:7.6v and 7.3v respectively. The draw seemed to be more from one of the batteries that had "high current"wiring installed on it (though the servos - six 8411's, are not high-current servos). The Asymetric readings seemed a little odd since both batteries were fully charged before the first flight.
Atul, the large difference in the drain of the batteries is easy to explain. This is what happens when you use a pair of regulators that are not precisely matched re. their output voltage. You need to use a regulator product that is specifically designed for this job. That is the reason Istarted making Tech-Aero regulators available. Icould not find what Ineeded in any existing product in order to achieve a balanced draw down of redundant battery packs, so Tech-Aero was born.
