[NSRCA-discussion] Li-Po and Regulators for 4C applications

[Lance Van Nostrand]

Colin,

I've been trying a similar setup. 1200maH 2S lipo with a Radio South 5.1v reg in my glow plane.  It's been performing fine so far but my charger is not a fancy one that tells me how much is put back in after a day flying.  I don't fly electric but still would like to use a charger that is not just a blinky light.  These got me in trouble with NiCds and I learned my lesson there.  Sadly, for this experiment all I have is the Great Planes blinky light charger that I use for my foamies.  Any recommendations?

  Hi all

  Is anyone using the TP Voltage Regulators with Failsafe switch? They are available here in Canada (unlike most other things) and I would like to consider upgrading my ancient NiCD technology.

  Considering the 1400mAH 2S TP with the TP 5.1V regulator in a 170 powered Integral. I am using an ARA170 mount...if that changes the assesment.

  Any comments? 

  Any reliability issues I may have missed ?

  Colin.
