2ndly Bill if you have a radio that can take a FRsky module- try that. I use it on my Futaba 9 & 10 C. Works like a charm and most inexpensive way to 2.4 . Tx module with 8 channel Rx costs about usd 60.
LiFe batts come down to 3.3V/ cell within few min. Or seconds and remain at that for 80%+ of their life. You can check it. So a 2S life is actually a 6.6V output not 7.2 going to 6.6. 1 diode is fairly sufficient.
My double switch with fuel filler, 2100 2s Life batt, optokill with LED and the diode cost less than USD 50 landed.
X2 on the bold (including price!). 6.6v within minutes once you get a load on the A123/LiFe. Confirmed watching Hitec A9 flight pack telemetry.
