Default RE: Ignitions on A123 Cells??

Yep. You're right, Dick. One reason I want to try this is the "overall" weight loss per plane. Since going to A123, I lost 5.7 oz on the second Rx batt. Take out the ignition, and now up to over 9 ozs. Not a big deal, but good to have happen.

MAIN reason I hope this works is laziness.

If I don't have an ignition battery to fuss with, it's one less thing to remember to do, and one less charger to carry on those "long days". Plus, when 'peaking' after 4 flights or so, I know the ignition will be full, too.

Anyone DONE this yet???
