Mike-
I am currently flying a Raptor 30 w/ 32 OS-SX and a GY 401 working a Futaba 9254 (transmitter is JR 8103) --
My question is I currently run the JR 1400 Mah battery packs 4.8 volt (4 cell packs) -- I have spoken to people that are running the larger 6.0 (5 cell) battery packs with a regulator in line to lower the voltage down. What I am learning is if one cell fails on the 4.8 pack my voltage fails, drops below flyable limits! Now with the 6.0 five cell pack with a regulator, I could technically lose a cell and still be "above" the helo's required voltage I need to keep the helo from self destructing..(Crash 101)
I am interested in your input sir, not the "A" typical Helo counter talk on the conversion to the five cell vs. four cell..
Thank you for your time to review this question!
