NEW!! VoltMagic On-Board System Monitor

We’re thrilled to introduce the ultimate in integrated monitoring systems for your Radio Gear and Battery Packs. VoltMagic monitors pack voltage, radio glitches, peak low voltage and intermittent system interruptions and will even track and report marginal Voltage Regulator and/or Battery Pack performance under actual flight loads!  Up till now you’d have to spend hundreds of dollars and drag along a laptop to get this kind of data on flight safety critical system performance. Ideal for high-drain, high load digital servo applications! If you’ve got an aggressive 3D or aerobatic aircraft THIS device is what you need. Easy to install (just plug it into your receiver), simple to program and it weighs less than an ounce. Reports at the end of your flight the peak low voltage sustained under load, the number (if any) of glitches or 'radio hits' and stores the info for display even after you turn your radio system off! Constant real-time reporting of actual voltage of your system! For use with PCM or regular FM radios systems, 4 cell and 5 cell Nicad or NiMH packs, 2 cell Lithium, works seamlessly in all types of system installations; including regulated systems!  

 

Introductory Priced, Just $39.95  In stock & Shipping Now!!

VoltMagic for all system types, $39.95 ea

On-Board Voltage Monitor
 
Designed specifically for use mounted on board your aircraft. Dash mount or install in the fuselage side near your switch port. Use for either Rx system or Ignition system voltage display.
 
Works with any Li-Poly, Li-Ion system as well as with regulated and non-regulated 4.8 and 6.0v Nicad and NiMH systems. The meter comes pre-wired and is compatible with any Futaba J, JR, Hitec or AirtZ system. Plug it into any unused port on the receiver or it can be Y harnessed with any servo or the battery lead. 
 
Aviation Concepts On-Board Voltage Monitor, just $42.95

In the Rx pack circuit the meter typically shows free or unloaded voltage. To simulate a load test on your receiver pack, try moving both control sticks simultaneously on your transmitter for a few seconds to observe the voltage while the servos transit. (We reccomend you use a 'loaded' ESV to evaluate the pack's charge condition before making a decison to fly) Self powered, draws less than 3ma and mounts in a 1 5/16" x 13/16" opening.

On-Board Digital ESV with Load
 
Similar to our On-Board Voltage Monitor, this one comes with a load test circuit and button! It's designed specificly for use mounted on board your aircraft. Dash mount or install in the fuselage side near your switch port and route the load test button to wherever you'd like to mount it.  
 
Works with any Li-Poly, Li-Ion system as well as with regulated and non-regulated 4.8 and 6.0v Nicad and NiMH systems. The meter comes pre-wired and is compatible with any Futaba J, JR, Hitec or AirtZ system. Plug it into any unused port on the receiver or it can be Y harnessed with any servo or the battery lead.  Self powered, draws less than 3ma (unloaded) and mounts in a 1 5/16" x 13/16" opening.
 
Aviation Concepts On-Board Digital ESV w/Load, just $49.95 
 The meter typically shows free or unloaded voltage. To conduct a formal load test, just press the button and hold it down for 5 seconds to observe the loaded voltage of the system and evaluate the charge condition of the battery between flights. Saves wear and tear on the charge port from repeatedly jacking in an external ESV with load. Available with .4, .8 or 1 amp load

OEM Type/Size System Switch, 22g 
 

The most common source of failure in an R/C system is a worn-out or intermittent switch. Vibration, fuel soaking and contact wear all contribute to the degredation of the switch. If it's time to replace a pack, it's likely time to consider replacing the switch.


Here's an excellent quality switch harness with charge lead, same physical size as most OEM switches, equipped with 22g leads, high quality gold plated connectors and a DPDT redundant switch. Partner this up with a External Charge Port or Hide-Away Internal Switch Mount (below) for easy field acess to your pack for load checking and field charging your Rx or Ignition pack

Heavy Duty Adjustable Voltage Regulator 

Six volt packs provide faster servo transit and more torque for big control surfaces. In some applications with older JR digital servos a regulator is required; in some others 'jittering' is an issue with freshly charged 6v packs. A regulator is the cure! 

Big bird servo loads?? No problem... with a single low impedance 5 cell pack equipped with dual leads this will easily handle 10 amps continuous and will tolerate 20 amps up to one minute. Uses the dual leads from the pack to feed the regulator and dual outputs from the regulator to feed the Rx. This spreads the current loading over 2 sets of contacts (5 amps each). Also takes advantage of single pack dual switch configurations for redundancy without requiring dual regulators. Most commonly used with a single 5 cell 2400-3600ma Rx pack equipped with dual leads feeding two HD Chargeport Switches on 25-33% 3-D birds.

Weighs just 1.4oz, Output is factory pre-set at 5.95v and is fully adjustable between 5v and 6.5v. Handles input voltage up to 12v, works with 4,5 or 6 cell NiMH/Nicad and 2 cell Lithium packs. If the supply voltage drops below the output set voltage the regulator is automatically bypassed.

Fully 'plug and play' ready for packs with dual leads, comes with Dual HD gold plated 20g Univ system connectors and instructions.

Comes with Dual Univ Connectors for input and output and it fits all current radio systems.
