Default Ignition set up

Hi. What is the best alternative of batteries, regulators and cut off for the DA 100? I would like to use LI-PO but the regulators are safe? 5V or 6V?

I use a LiPo 2200 mAh 7.4v with a smartfly ignition regulator on my two DL100 with no issues and works great. I fly about 5 (15min/flight) flights and I have about 2/3 of my battery remaining. I also use the smartfly ignition kill.

They have both a regulator and a ignition regulator. The ignition regulator give 5.2 v and comes with standard connectors. http://http://www.smart-fly.com/Prod...egulator/4.htm
