I get that, but Sandy said he wasnt using the optikll so his setup is what I wanted to clarify...

Bill S.
I'm going to assume that we're talking 2.4 rigs installed in 20-30cc planes (possibly smaller, maybe a little bigger, some 50cc guys are running it)? Whatever, someplace we might want to use a light weight, single battery system, including those with digital high torque servos, though that's not necessarily the case.

On single battery set ups, I think most guys are using 2 sets of wires coming from a single battery (at least 2, regardless of battery chemistry). Those 2 leads feed 2 switches (hopefully HD switches with fairly heavy wire). One of those 2 switches feed the receiver as you would normally. How the second is set up depends on the individual.

With SpinnerRow's setup (above), the second switch feeds the power ''in'' line on his opti switch. Nice and simple.
I only have one switch. Two ouputs on the switch. One to the RX, one to the optikill.
