[NSRCA-discussion] Regulator required?

[James Oddino]

Only if you want to improve your flying.  What if your servo travel  
changed from flight to flight?  You would compensate but it would not  
help your performance.  Servo travel is not affected by voltage in  
modern servos but speed is.  With a five cell pack your servos get  
slower and slower with each flight as the voltage drops.  You will  
compensate to some degree but it would help if you didn't have to  
compensate.  A good voltage regulator is the answer.  In your case  
you would like to keep flying until your pack gets down to 5.9 volts,  
so I would recommend a 5.7 volt regulator that will regulate with 5.9  
volts input.
So the answer to your question is; only if you want to fly better.
