Batteries, Switches and Regulators?
Hey guys, I am putting together an Aeroworks 75cc Yak with a DA-85 (got it last week
 ) What switches, batteries and regulators would you recommend? I was thinking about changing over to the Lithium-Ions but have never used them. Always haved used NiHms here in my planes, is the extra cost worth it? Thanks and looking foward to hearing from you all.

Re: Batteries, Switches and Regulators?
I like smart fly but either is good but If you want to go light
then use LiPo , they are about 1/3 the weight if Lion . Stu |

Re: Batteries, Switches and Regulators?
Greg,
Here's a very biased opinion, its not the only one for sure but it is unique as no one else makes a package this neat and simple. Simple equals less problems in my books. As for the battery packs your looking to be as light as humanly possible with your setup because light equals better!!!! I would look at two of the new Flight Power Airborne flight packs. They are little bit more robust than some of the others and they are lighter. Or if you don't feel comfortable with LiPo's try twin 2600 Li-Ion packs from FROMECO. |
