Well, I stuck with the DLE opto kill switch. After moving wires around several times, I think I got it. My biggest problem has been trying to use a 6 channel rx and still hook up the kill switch 2...

Since writing the above, I have been looking at other planes in my hangar. Instead of using the Opto Kill Switch for DLE engines, I think I am going to switch it out. I have used the RCATS 100x in...
