Hi Ed thanks for the Tech-Aero Ultra IBEC tip. I like it! I assume it gets it power directly from the RX connector bus. I realise EMF noise is no longer an issue due to the opto coupling. For this application is there any benefit having it connected directly to battery as my battery has 2 power leads.

What is the fuel consumption comparison between (170-175 CDI) and DZ160. What I am trying to say is there any benefit swapping out my existing 20oz tank for something smaller?

Thx

Peter
Peter, you won't regret going with the Tech-Aero IBEC. I have the experience of more than 500 flights on 3 them in various models without the slightest hint of a glitch. The little external LED indicator is very handy, as is the optical kill capability using a switch on the radio.
