[NSRCA-discussion] Looking for a pattern plane

Wed May 9 06:53:05 AKDT 2012

When I did the test, only one lipo at a time was hooked up to the separate switch/regulator inputs.  The output voltages were different, which I attributed to tolerances in two regulators within the device.  If there really is only one regulator in the switch/regulator, I cannot understand why there's a difference in output voltages.

I'm looking for a fixed gear 2m design, and plan to do an electric setup. I can convert a methanol burner if necessary.  I live in Nashville,tn., avoiding shipping would be good.
