From everything I've read, model aircraft operations are only prohibited in the FRZ portion of the SFRA. Was there a new ruling issued by the FAA to increase this to the entire SFRA?

Are you regulating the battery voltage to 6V?...

Are you regulating the battery voltage to 6V? Because the electronic ignition modules don't tolerate much more than 6V and a 6V NIMH fully charged is more than 6.V.
