Thats the first thing I want to know, how much current consum the CDI.
For my bike it isn't a problem, the generator will load the batteries.
Batteries into a plane don't have a generator for backup, empty is empty.
If the tank is full but the batteries are empty, we missing some point.

But befor I'll rebuild something else I want to know the specs from the board John haven make.
I think to build for test the schematic below, all factories are usuing this kind of schematics.

For John, is this the flashlight / strobe you are loooking for ?
BTW, If you want to use it, Jake have to change the program to get a extra LED-input to send a puls to the LED output.
Changing the C into this schematic will also change the lenght of the puls.
