I am not sure if there is a traditional sense of voltage regulators on quads, besides the BEC(Battery Elimination Circuit) . The ESC’s are controlled through a PWM signal. Which then handles the control and speed of the two phase motors. Which should be functioning similar to stepping motors, at a constant voltage for the phases, and cycled based and directional requirements.

LOL, I feel bad laughing but it is pretty entertaining.
So I take it we won’t see Norm tomorrow as Will is going to kill him.
Amen!
So cool

YYZ is the airport code for Toronto. The airport broadcasted the code in Morse code so that’s where the rhythm of the song came from. They would be happy to see YYZ on their baggage because it meant they were coming home after a tour.
Speaking brand names like Channel Lock, I’m surprised how many people don’t know that Molex is a brand and not really a style of connector…
