Hi Guys,
I just purchased a ZDZ 40 engine. Real Nice looking! Now if it only runs as good as it looks! (from what I heard, it does!). My issue (or worry), I've been told and read that you should keep ignition parts far away as possible from R/C radio gear for fear or interference issues (minimal supposedly with full shielded Ign. system, like the Falkon system that came with the ZDZ). Nevertheless, I'll keep them separated as far as possible for safety sakes. Now my main question,... should I also worry about the placement/proximity of the ignition battery and cable? Does any one know if shielded systems assure that no EMI junk gets onto the power leads of the ignition battery? I currently plan to have both battery packs (ignition and radio gear) side by side towards the tail of the plane (for adjusting C.G. properly). Additionally, I plan to expend the ignition battery cable a bit (from 12" to 24"). Is there potential issues with this installation ???? Help! This is my first "gasser" and want it to be a GREAT experience!
Thanks in advance!
p.s. Has any one used ferrite beads to supress interference ? (and if so, where do you place them... these good on servo leads too?)
