I'm using the [link=http://www.valleyviewrc.com/42-Percent%20Products%20Opto%20Gas%20Kill%20Switch.ht m]42% Opto Kill Switch[/link]. I don't have a seperate battery for the ignition. I'm running the plane and ignition off of one A123 battery with two diodes wired in series to the ignition to drop the voltage in the 4.9-5.1v range. I put six flights on it Friday and it worked great.

I am going to build the GP Extra 300s and install the DLE20 in it. I want to use A123 Battery and have seen several say they are using it with two Diodes. Can you tell me what value diode you are placing in line to reduce the voltage to a safe level. Thanks for any advice.

Dan
