I'm getting things ready to build a CA Model 24% Exra 300 and I'm considering using a LiOn battery and regulator from Fromeco. I've read up on their website but still have unanswered questions on what options to pick when ordering. The Super Regulated Reliaswitch and a 5200Mah battery with Deans for charging is what I want to do. This should do the trick for 5 HT/MG digitals and 1 analog. Some of the choises have 2 and 3 JR plugs to the RX, what's that? I know a regular RX pack will work for this size plane but I want a Fromeco system, it's cool. It's tough to get someone at Fromeco, they seem pretty busy. Anyone with knowledge on this would be appreciated...

get a regulator with 2 JR outputs and 1 deans input. A Badger switch with 18 Guage wire and deans in and out.
Batt----18g wire---deans---18g----swtch----18g----deans-----18g----reg---2 JR outputs to receiver.
the reason for two outputs is to share the load one JR(servo type) cinnector is only rated at 3 amps. The power bus is common in a receiver so just plug one of the outputs into the batt slot and the other into a spare channell.
Also Fromeco is very busy. Leave them a message Mon tue or wed ant they will usually call you back within an hour or so, they also answer e-mails daily.

Thanks for the info, that makes sense. I will be using 1 mini for throttle, 2 HS-645MG's for ail, 2 HS-5645MG's for ele, and one HS-5985 for rud. Todd from wacohobbystop.com says a 2600mah relion will be sufficient for that load. I've been looking around and found Airwild Pilot Shop has the Super Regulated Reliaswitch with pin flag and JR leads for $47.50. I figure those two will do the trick for this "smaller" airplane. This regulator/switch must be pretty new because not many in the buisiness I've talked to have heard of it...

Ouch, I take it you found out the hard way. I've always used them on .40's with no problems but I'll be using a Saito 1.25 or 1.80 on this one.
