Default RE: Running CDI from RX

I've got a gas heli and 1/4-scale sprint car, both have G23's and both have had unexpected RF issues causing potentially dangerous situations. Saving a couple ounces weight on a 14 lb. model is not reasonable IMO. Don't ignore the wisdom offered here! No reason was given for using the device - weight-savings, lack of room, complexity?

While troubleshooting my problems, many said to 'go 2.4, or PCM' which might have worked but would have been masking the problem. Once the RF problems were fixed, there was no need for those band-aid approaches. Good point on the brown-out issues, too. Plenty to ponder, podner.
