Default Setting up dual batteries for Rx and Ignition

I'm setting up a 50cc IMAC type plane and am using a pair of 2600 LiFe batteries for power. My question is can I run both batteries to the receiver and also my optical kill switch for the ignition without problems? I know the traditional answer was to use a BEC for the ignition to isolate it from the radio circuit, but with the optical switch is that still necessary?
