FASST and 4.8V

[mosand]

Hi all.
I am completing a 30% Yak with a DA 50 for motivation.
I want to keep this one light and simple, and I have 2 unused NO-BS 4 cell NiCads lying around.
Will a FASST system (6014) be ok with 4.8V? Or will I have voltage drop/reboot issues.
All servos except throttle are Hitec 5955TG. Flying style is IMAC.
Thanks
Anders

Why even risk this scenario?

A123 batteries are only $40ish from NoBS, you can run one on this plane and keep the 4.8v for the ignition. Or you can use the balance tap of the A123 pack to power the ignition & two 16ga wires to power the 6014 receiver (3-leads off battery, 2 would just be positive/neg).

use the 4.8v batt for ignition only. don't risk your plane on the 4.8 packs. a123's are a great choice.

Thanks guys.
A123 it is.
Do any of You have any expierience with the 1200 mah Iron Core cells from Fromeco?.
I've had a couple of ignition packs (Iron Core 1200) quitting on me.

these are what i use, genuine a123's. they work great. have 2 in my 50cc aw yak for reciever. fromeco told me those packs you mentioned are good but have a shorter life than genuine a123 packs.

When you get to flying 120 size and bigger... 4.8 shouldn't be used, except for Ign. (IMO)

is good idea to keep it simple and light, but you alse need to keep it safe. I have 2600 mah li-ion with regulator on my ignition and 5200 mah li-ion on my rx, maybe a ovekille but i really want to be safe at least with enough power for long days at the field.

Try the 4.8V on the ignition and put some 2600/5200, the point is check the V. in everyflight. Thats wy i have a 8 ball fromeco volt tester.

Ya I use 3 1200mh packs in a 50cc airframe, 2 rec. 1 ign.
Works great.

I agree Brian at tanic packs will build yours to order with what ever leads you need at the length you need. And they get to your door quick.
