Default RE: Gas Engines

Look, all I know is that Greg has a C&H CDI on his Pitts, and has been using a 6 volt batt for years. I have one on my SV, and neither of em even get warm. Several of our other friends use 6 volts too. Point is, were not worried. Thats all im sayin, ok. You do what works for you, and we'll do what works for us. My box pulls almost an amp at high rpm (700ma plus) and I dont want a 4.8 batt that needs to be cycled, nor do I want a lipo in my gas plane. I have my reasons. I would rather buy another box, should mine quit, and I know of noone who has had one give up around here, and there are several. Ours dont even get warm on 6 volts.
This argument is over...
