REGULATORS TO JETS
i always used DURALITE regulators on ours jets, but, the guys of GIANT SCALE PLANES said that DURALITE not is a great and safe option, FROMECO and FLIGHPOWER are the best and more safe REGULATORS on the market, and they heard some crashs caused for DURALITE REGULATORS.
Does anyone had problem about it ? We have 9 JETs, and, all mounted with DURALITE REGULATORS and THUNDER POWER / FLIGHPOWER LIPO or FROMECO LION. JOSE |

Just my personal preference, skip the regulators! Use 2s A123 batteries and remove one more point of failure in your system. I like using 2 seperate 2S packs and isolating them with Schottky diodes just in case one cell goes bad (remote possibility). I have seen first hand a lost SM viper because of a burned up regulator. Just my 2 cents.

Stick with 6 v NiMh Batteries I believe is the best option for the receiver

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
I have had a number of Duralite regulators in helicopters (lot worse operating enviroments than jets) over the years and never had any issue with any of them.
That said, A123's unregulated is the best option, no need for diodes IMHO. |
RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
We have one jet with A123, is a great option, but, i have many DURALITE REGULATORS in stock, and, if the reliability is questionable, i change the REGULATORS for A123, this is the point.

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
I'm unclear why you're saying the reliability is questionable. Because you read it on the internet, or because you have hands on experience with a failure?

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
My doubts came after a conversation with the Brazilian champion freestyle and F3A (giant), and he is not sponsored by anyone.
Our JETS are BANDITS, BOBCAT, EUROSPORT, ULTRA FLASH and BOOMERANGS, and they are very expensive, and, the REGULATOR is an very low cost of total amount of a JET. JOSE |
RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
I have used duralite regulators in my jets without any problems. If you used duralites in your jets in the past without problems, why change? Stick with what works for you.
On the other hand, I agree with others as far as using A123s. No point of failure and direct plug into the RX. Again, stay with what worked for you in the past. |
RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
Iv been using 6.6v life packs for a couple years now.
Safe to burry in the nose of jets and no regs needed.. |
RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
Large scale planes use many large servos and pull very high amps. We use redundent lipos and regulators. HV servos will be a good path after a few years of development. I prefer to let others do the R&D.<br type="_moz" />

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
I have a Duralite Reg in my Nano. Never a problem.

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
No issues here flew them in Helis for years.
And in a cpl jets |
RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
Their was a time many years ago when people were using only 1 of them with a high loaded system. At that time I think they were rated a 5 amps. Now they are at 7.5 amps. I use 2 with ions and have had no problems for years. Dan

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
i open this post to check if anyone in jet comunity have had or hear something about problem on duralite regulator.
Thanks for all jose |
RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
Jose, go with a123! See you!
|
RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
Never a problem with any of my Duralite regs.
Don't understand many peoples love affair with A123's; too heavy, too bulky, not enough capacity for me in most applications. Mike |

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
fala Igor!!! A123 is the best in battery for jets, no need reg.
abracos te ligo hj jose |

o>> wow

RE: REGULATORS TO JETS
all my jets are 2s life direct feed. no regs to fail! i have a simple digi switch forI/O in between battery and RX
