<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>The big
difference is just that electrics weigh in with batteries installed and wet
fuel ships weigh in with an empty tank. What does your #160 weigh fully
loaded with fuel? In general, the batteries are going to amount to about
20-25% of the total weight (my 4900mah batteries weigh in at just under 1200g)
but the motor weighs about 350+g LESS than a YS170 (580-620g for the electric
vs. 960g for a YS170) and the total electric power system (counting ESC) should
be under 40% of the all up weight of the aircraft, in my case it comes to just
under 38%. Glow fuel undoubtedly brings your power system in to a much
lower % of the all up weight, even counting a couple hundred grams of fuel
fully loaded and the muffler/pipe, but airframes seem to weigh more because
they are built to handle a lot more vibration than you get from an electric.

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>That said, I
don't think we're going to "extraordinary" measures to save weight,
we're just trying to take full advantage of the components we already have to
have (like the main system battery) to serve double duty without giving up
redundant power in the system as a whole. In my case, discovering I was
30g overweight I had no trouble shaving the weight: Swap a 1350 RX
battery for a 450 RX battery (saving 38g), add Chris' main tap as a redundant
power supply to the RX (previously I'd just left the second power lead to the
RX unused and gone without redundancy) at a cost of probably 3g (no regulator
needed, though if I can find a decent one with minimal weight penalty I'll add
it) and now I'm 5g under the limit. Since I was on Chris' store and
didn't want to get just the power tap, I decided to give a Falcon V2 carbon
prop a try, saving me another 30g. I could easily swap out my convenient
Secraft wire tensioning system to save another 10-20 grams. I have an
irrational dislike of carbon spinners after having one shatter on me a while
back, so I use a 49g Aluminum Tru-turn spinner, if I were really up against the
weight gun I'd swap that out and save another maybe 20g. So with no
extraordinary measures I reduced my weight by 65g and added redundant power.
Minor tweaks I would prefer not to make would save me another 20-80g. Extraordinary
measures would replace my beloved Emcotec arming switch for the main power
system with something simple and lighter like the power unlimited arming plug
:-) </span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black;mso-color-alt:

could get rid of my greasy stuff I think I'd go all electric but after reading
of the extraordinary measures taken to save a few grams it kind of depends what

need to lookup component weights and get an estimated allowable airframe weight
to compare. Maybe next winter; I'll fly what I've got another season and work
on improving piloting skill, if that’s possible any more. I've never been a

<br>
On a typical flight, I'm guessing the radio only uses around
100-150Mah of power, while the motor is using 4000Mah, so that's about 4% more
draw on those two cells. In practice, I haven't been able to see any
difference in the radio cells when I hook them up to my charger at the end of a
flight. Sometimes cells #1 & #2 are the high cells after a flight, so
I think the power draw of the radio is negligible to our motor packs.<br>
<br>
The problem with two regulators plugged into the same 10S (or 5S) pack is that
you are creating a dead short between the cells thru the ground wires
(typically a straight wire thru the regulator). <br>
<br>
Say you plug Regulator #1 into cells #1&2, and Regulator #2 into cells
#6&7. The regulator's <b><i><span style='font-weight:bold;font-style:
italic'>ground </span></i></b>wires now have 5 cells of voltage potential (5 X
4.2V = 21Volts) between them since they are plugged into cells # 1 and
#6. When those two ground wires are then plugged into your receiver
either thru a switch or direct connection the magic smoke will escape and your
retailer will rejoice.<br>
<br>
Also, if you have both of your regulators plugged into your motor pack and the
packs eject like Goose in Top Gun, you've lost both of your redundant power
sources. However, if you use a tiny 2S LiPo that is physically separated
and secured inside your plane, you have both electrical and physical
redundancy. <br>
<br>
Hmmm, just thought of something . . . maybe we should tie down the receiver so
the main regulator can't take the receiver out with it. . . so many
contingencies, so little weight . . .<br clear=all>

I've been using this setup for sometime and it is working great. I have
my two cell LiPo charged to 7.5 volts and it is connected to a 6.0 volt
regulator into the receiver. The cable connected to the balance connector
on the "bottom" 5S is connected to a 6.3 volt regulator so it
supplies all the current to the system and the 2S pack never needs charging.
I'm using an 800 mAh pack but it could be even smaller. </span></font><font

Chris Moon just e-mailed me about some leads that were done at the
factory. These leads run off your balance leads to a voltage regulator
and allow your main battery pack to be utilized as a redundant receiver
battery. It is NOT meant to be a primary but it will save 20+ grams if
you're running 2 rx batteries. You still have to run the 2nd regulator
for true redundancy but you eliminate the 2nd battery. These leads are
factory made and eliminate the need to make them yourself with the concern
about plugging in to the wrong cell. I know in my article, I was pretty
much against doing this as a backup but, with Chris having this made at the
factory, he has all but eliminated making a mistake by tying to the wrong
cell. I have the link that I'll e-mail you off-list or you can just go to
his website. I don't want to break the NSRCA list rules by advertising
for him even though he advertises with the NSRCA. The leads are only
$3.99 each and are found under the Connectors/Adapters listing.<br>

Thank,<br>
