RE: What IBEC to buy?
It is the "Thor" (not the Mini).
The radio is a Futaba 2.4 (6208SB receiver / 14MZ TX)
The ignition module is a 3W module (Engine is a 3W 28)
Battery packs are Fromeco LiIons at (6.6v)
They can give me 100 of them for free and I wouldn't use one. I went away from their products for a while after they got an "investor" (I suspect the owners of TBM know whom I am referring to there) to help them "improve" their production and they seem to have gone downhill ever since. I trialled this one in good faith because a friend of mine is a dealer in them and he convinced me to give them another try. In the near future it will only be the Ultra RC ones for me (can't seem to find the Wike's here anyway). I only use them in "space limited" planes anyway and that is a very small part of my fleet.
The unit was working correctly for about 30 flights. What has failed is the "Switch off" function. Part of the reason I use these devices is the ability to shut the engine down remotely with a method other than the throttle. If that has failed on me, it takes away 50% of my reasons for using them. If I feel a product is unreliable, I will not use it.
