[QUOTE=All Day Dan;11863822]Dirtybird, be sure to tell your doctor that you fly RC and use an engine that requires a spark. There have been several guys in my club that had to give up ignition engines because it was interfering with their pacemaker and they felt it. Not having one I don’t know what the symptoms were but they avoid the gasoline engines now whenever there is one running nearby. By the way, they also had to bring their transmitter in to the doctor’s office to have it on while the pacemaker was being monitored. No problem there.Dan.[/QUOTE

I discussed this with my Dr. He assured me that the only thing that would affect it is a strong magnet held directly over the pacemaker. I ask him about this because I read on this wonderful internot that you should not use a chain saw.
He said I can even have an MRI which has been a no no before.
I guess they continue to make improvements.
