Voltage Regulator

[Troy Newman]

Jim,

My current Smaragd flew last year with the JR 8411SA on rudder, 9411SA's on
aileron, 3421 on Throttle and 8417( SA Convert)  and the 5.7V reg.....No
problems.....I have lots of flights on this setup.

...and right now I'm flying the same model with a  8611 on rudder. I have
about 50-60 flights on 8611 and no problems.

Troy
