[NSRCA-discussion] Main battery redundant lead for receiver

[James Oddino]

I must admit I used an irregular regulator.  I've been carrying around an Eagle Tree data logger and optical display (to read 42 volts) so I am sure that I have plugged in a fully charged 10S pack ever since I took off with a perfectly good uncharged pack and screwed it up.  So when I built my redundant setup, I built a simplified version of my Perfect Switch Harness that allows me to plug in a Radio South voltmeter to read the voltage of the "bottom" two cells of my motor pack.  If they aren't reading close to 8.4 volts I stop and get a freshly charged 10S pack.  I also wanted a switch in the circuit so I wouldn't have a plane sitting on the ready line with the motor pack connected and the receiver on.  That is asking for trouble if you ask me.
