Ha! I did notice the plane is offered without gear! Hmmmm.
Funny you mention about the connection with the engine. I talked to the guys from DA at the AMA show and they asked it I had a ignition kill wired in (I do) and suggested I bypass it to see if that's the problem. Also mentioned about the battery and switch. Plus, I do still have to stock Anderson Powerpoles on the wires, so may change those to Deans. They said their ignition is very tolerant of heat and usually won't overheat under normal circumstances. I haven't had time to delve into it yet and give these a try.
