Tom,

You're right, my bad. I did not open the bag with the ignition yesterday and only saw an open wire end. The ignition switch wire DOES have the Futaba connector, and the open end I saw was the male wire end that was included for the owner to use on their switch if needed. That's nice. NOBODY does that! BTW, JR plugs directly into a Futaba plug without modification. The new style Airtronics will too, but the old style Airtronics will not without changing wire locations in the plug. Basically, using the Futaba female lead on the ignition covered just about all the bases for most switches in use today.

Looking inside the ignition cap and you'll note that the cap has the silicone insert. That's a lot better than the rubber insert that will break down over time. This eliminates the need for a later cap rework. Another very nice touch. The module has a note that you can use either 4.8 or 6v batteries, so that allows some flexibility in battery choices. You have two sizes of spiral wrap included with the engine. One is large for the plug wire and the other is smaller for the electrical leads. Use them since they do a good job of protecting things from abrasion. This is noted in the engine instructions and for those tha have not used a gas engine before I can't stress enough how quickly a cowl can cut a plug wire if they're not separated.

I didn't think anyone would be interested in engine pics. I guess I was wrong. I'll get some done and uploaded a little later today. That Bunny prop deserves a couple of frames by itself[8D] Here's a pic with some of the new Wild Hare ball links and rudder hardware.
