Default Help with a Voltage Regulator for DA-150 ignition

We're looking for advice on an appropriate ignition regulator for our DA-150. I have a Smart Fly Adjustable one that I was considering using. I know Fromeco also has good ones. We plan on sticking with the Fromeco Li-on 2600 Relion battery. Any suggestions?

The Smart-Fly igntion regulator is a good choice - very light and pre-regulated. Have used them with great success. But as said, they are all good.

Shoe,

You will still need a switch for your regulator. I have found that PowerBox Digi switch is the best and lightest for ignition and costs lthe same as a regulator + switch.

It is less than an ounce and has a built-in regulator. Very clean and easy to use. All of the assembly manual that I wrote shows the unit. Take a look at them. Duralite has them in stock most of the time.

If you are going to use regulator, then the Digi switch is hard to beat!
