Can someone tell me the weight of a Jaccio regulator (6v)? Or any 5.1, 5.7 etc....
Thanks, Chris

The one I have just weighed 11g

This is not the perfect switch version just the regulator

I'm quite sure the Perfect Switch Harness is lighter than any regulator plus separate switch harness and it provides fail safe operation. A must in a single switch plane like most pattern planes.

Me and several of the guys I fly with are switching to the Duralite DigiSwitch. It is a switch with built-in 5.5V regulator and voltage monitor. It can be set up to monitor a 2-cell lithium or 5-cell NiCd battery. According to the manual the weight is 15 grams (15 grams = 0.529109429 ounces).

the Jaccio reg w/ switch (Perfect Switch) weighs .6 oz

Hey guys...thanks very much for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Part of the design philosophy of the Perfect Switch Harness was to keep all of the important stuff in a friendly environment. That is, no grime and dirt and no vibration. The most vulnerable part of the assembly, besides the switch, is the wiring to the switch. With the Perfect switch Harness a wire to the switch could break off or the switch could fall apart and you'd keep flying. I velcro the regulator to my receiver so it sees the same vibration free environment as the receiver. Of course this isn't as big a concern with electrics.

I'm new at 6v receiver packs and would like to know what type of connectors to use between the perfect switch and a 2s LiPo pack. I'm asking because the pack wires are considerably heavier gauge wire than the perfect switch wire. My power systems, watts up and charger are setup for 4mm connectors. Therefore the most convenient would be to use 4mm bullets between the pack and switch/regulator. Is there a better way?

On a pattern ship it really isn't that critical. I still use the standard Futaba plugs for all of mine. We arent using near the current that the big birds are on our pattern setups. You can use the heavier connectors, but they are just unnecessary weight.
