Ignition Wiring

I may have found it in the Smart-Fly.

Is this it?

Anyone use this?
I have used them exclusively in my giant scale planes for years. They work so well you almost forget about them.

I use the dual RX version in my Sukhoi. If I lose either RX I can still kill the ignition. I prefer the Smart-Fly optical kill system because it truly isolates the ignition circuit and any related noise that may be present from the RX. I don't have any interest in sharing the RX batts with the ignition. I'll take the extra weight penalty of an ignition pack for the extra flight time. On my 40% Sukhoi I can fly an entire contest with power to spare on a single charge using 2X2500 A123s on the RXs and an 1100ma A123 on ignition.

Welcome to the dark side Rich. :cool:

Hey Rich!

I am using the CB200 and have one of the electronic switches, SP06 for my ignition with its own battery. I control this with a separate switch on the transmitter. I also have the choke on a servo so I can kill the engine that way if need be. Just my two cents :)
