I'm using a 6v Nicad pack.... 1400mah... I thought the Rcxl ignition was rated at 4.8, and 6???

I have tested the RCEXL with 6 volts ,I do not believe 6 volts would hurt it .But it does increase the battery drain about 150 MA and the power transister runs pretty hot.I does not need 6 volts ,spark is plenty hot with 4.8 volts. I just received a new order of the CHRCEXL igns and they no longer have 6 volts on the case.I have been flying one on one LYPO cell seems to work out fine. Hall sensor will quite before battery gets low enough to hurt it.Engine will just go into a high speed miss ,this is time to land .Engine will Idle OK.

2 more 0zs gone.....I just wonder will the spark heat suffer??

But how cool would that be.....1 TP730 prolite cell................I am running tp1320 2s and it doesn't need that capacity.....

Thanks for your help the other day.

I had about 20 flights on the ignition running 6v, so I don't think 6v would fry it....

However, I left the ignition switch on all night by accident... I peaked the battery at the field, and DIDN't check the voltage... Fired up the DL50, did a quick range check (I had just installed new aileron servos), and took off... about half way through my flight (8 minutes), the engine just quit (I was at about half throttle).. (like I turned the switch off)...

Dead stick landing...

First thing I thought was the ignition battery was hurt when I left the switch on... So I checked the battery with a load check, under a .5 load the battery read 6.88 volts... it read 7.15 with no load...

I think that voltage is to high... just a guess..

Dennis

I'm guessing cheaper than the 3MM. seriously...... Looking at both engines, I'd say the 3mm is better quality. The muffler on the 3MM is like nothing you have seen before. Weighs about 5.2 oz. The DL muffler is pretty rough looking but weighs about 1 oz less.

That is excellent news. Several guys at my club are very interested in the new 50's (DL and 3MM)... So to have a distributer in the US is a big plus.... I would pay more (> $370) to someone in the US.

The DL manufacture will not raise the price, because they could lose business to the guy next door....

Status: offline 		Just got e-mail from Steven (the guy I bought my DL from on e-bay, sylvian1975). He told me that he is going to list replacement parts for the DL on ebay in the next day or two. He is a very trustworthy person. Do not hesitate to buy from him.

He has been nothing but helpful in replacing my ignition, and in answering the questions I have had.
