Second Equalizer II failure
I sent a SmartFly Equalizer II back because it failed at the flying field (maybe 3 flights on it). Luckily I was on the ground and not in the air. I called 'em up, sent it back, and got a new one. This time around, I didn't even have time to get it programmed before it crapped out. No LED light, no functions, nothing. I also have, or should I say HAD one on the elevators as well. Back to the good 'ole Y-harnesses. I'm not even going to bother sending this one back. Is there something going on I don't know about? The one I've had on the elevator has never given me problems. Bummer. [

I lost a 27% Planes Plus Extra to a bad voltage regulator in 2001. Since then I have used two 6V NiMH packs to my Rx with no interruptions except heavy duty switch harnesses. So far no crashes.

RE: Second Equalizer II failure
That's what I'm doing, taking out the equalizers and going back to heavy duty Y-harnesses. I haven't gotten any voltage regulators, just use 6v packs. And a 7.2v lipo on the smoke pump.

It's the KISS principle. I fly all my giant scale with 2 NiMH and 2 switches, one receiver. No problems.
