+1 ..... I have used a couple of them for years with no issues. I am also using the Syssa IBECs in a couple of airframes and have a couple of Smart-Fly systems too. They all work.
The TECH AERO IBECs (aka Syssa IBEC) takes my vote. Once you use one of these and realize the total lack of RFI (electronic filtering), convenience and safety aspect, you will never go back. And only one battery to charge and maintain
I agree, One 5500 Lipo runs the whole works with this unit and flying four years of hi-$$ scale planes with them.
Any direct short in the engine ignition will burn out a fail safe component allowing the receiver to work for a dead stick landing.
