Default RE: DL-50 engine

Hi switch26

I had to change the rubber bands on the battery side once, as smoke oil (I use a mixture of diesel fuel and ATF for smoke oil) got on them and harden the rubber. The ignition module rubber bands have 60 flights on them and still look like new. I use foam and rubber bands for everything, I mounted my Rx battery and my smoke pump with rubber bands.

Opinions very a lot when it comes to ignition cut off switches, and there are a variety of switches to use, mechanical, electrical and fibre optics. I just hooked up my choke to a servo and I use that to cut the engine. In my humble opinion it kills two birds with one stone, as I did not need to hook up some fancy and complicated mechanical choke leaver to start the engine, and eliminated a switch component that can give me problems. I just flip a transmitter switch for choking and killing, it’s very convenient.

Here is a signature that I borrowed from my favourite Guns & Roses tune “ I use to love her “

I use to love her, but I had to kill her, I thought I’d miss her, so I buried her in my back yard,
but I can still hear her complain.
