[ARTS] Need Recommendation For E-matches In 1-Battery Configuration

[JDcluster]

I've just switched to a rechargeable NiMH batteries.
They are rated at 230 mAh & 9.6 volts. They are a little pricey a $10.00 a pop
plus you'll need a special charger to full charge them properly.
You can find them here:

  Hi,

   

  I wanted to find out from other ARTS2 users what E-matches work best when you are flying in a 1-battery configuration and w/o bypassing the current limiter.

   

  I already know that it is better to fly with two batteries etc.  Please don't repond with recommendations to "just hook up a 2nd battery, as that is not what I am asking about here.  I know how to set things up with 2 batteries, but I have some cases where size constraints don't allow for that, and I need to fly with just one.

   

  I am having an impossible time finding an E-match or other charge initiator that will fire reliably on the 500ma current that the ARTS2 supplies in 1-battery mode.  M-tek E-matches from MJG say they fire on a "minimum" current of 500ma but that sounds dicey to me.like they might not fire.  If there are any other users out there who have flown it this way, and identified a product that works reliably at 500ma, please let me know the name of the product, and also the name of your supplier.

   

  Thanks in advance!

   

  Jarrett
