<DIV>You are still only reading the regulator output from one of the lipos and both outputs would have to be the same. <BR>Ed is saying the single regulator dual outputs are not independent as they would be if you used two tech-aero or jaccio regulators.<BR>Sounds like a good system to have on a smaller cheaper aircraft than our 2 meter pattern planes.

I wonder why I measure different voltages when I switch on the two 2S lipo batteries at different times. If it had a single regulator, I would think the output voltage would be the same, no matter which battery was chosen.

<DIV>It’s actually a dual output single regulator that can switch between two power sources. It provides two leads from the same internal source, so only the battery side of things has any redundancy.</DIV>

Look here:

<DIV>I'm looking for a used pattern plane. It's been about 10 years since my last contest, and I want to give these old fingers another chance. 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.
