Default Fromeco regulator/ battery

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...

DO NOT USE MINI FOR THROTLE


Its small gears can not withstand the vibration from a large engine use a standard servo

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.

I found out the hard way using it on a BME 50 maden flight landed at 1/4 throttle. A saito 180 or 125 shakes as much or more than a BME 50.
