Yeah...I also found the UBEC on HK. Low cost deal at only 7 bux.
The batt...well Ive never had any issues with any JR packs Ive used in the past...soI can only assume its a decent pack.

No...this is a gasser. It has a 65cc RCGF engine. Here are a couple more pics I took simply because I couldnt believe the amount of weight added to the firewall.





Also...the engine mount/standoffs is obviously home-made out of some long nuts and metal welded together. One can only imagine the weight of that thing...not even counting the added lead.

I dont have a scale other than bathroom digitals. I weighed myself...then weighed myself holding the plane with wings on it and it come in at 18lbs. With a 65cc engine on this plane (calls for 40-50cc) I would have thought it would have been nose heavy.

Anyway...perhaps you could point me to some reading on the best way to set up a 2 battery system (not for redundancy...but to isolate RX &IGN). And some type of kill switch that can control the IGNpower from the radio. The way I have my cub right now, the only way I can kill the IGN is if its on the ground and I can flip the switch. Id prefer to be able to kill the IGN while in air if the need was there, ie broken throttle servo.

Thanks for your help.
