I was going to post what happened to me. I was re-installing the RCXEL ignition and no spark. I checked the connectors and noticed one of the pins had moved out of place. Got that fixed....but these connectors seem kinda cheap made. I think I will replace with them with much better deans...any input on that? Thanks Capt,n
If you are going to change the plugs why not solder the wires together? If you want to put plugs on later not much more work.
For what we pay for this RC stuff they should come with a high grade connecter in the first place. If I solder the wires together & get a short it would be hard to undue quick. Or for testing. Just don,t know....
Now that's funny. DA ignitions arrive with a very nice Anderson connector set and the first thing people like to do is cut them off and install JR plugs. The Andersons are among some of the high end connectors made but people fail to secure them and let them flop around in flight so they eventually disconnect and fail the engine. Everyone blames the connectors....
Now the RC Exl has the type of connectors that everyone changes to when they have a DA ignition but they now become upset that the pins can move around a little. Is anyone smarter than the connectors? Put a small dollop of hot melt glue or silicone on the wires where they enter the connector. It's not that hard to outsmart a connector folks.
No but it kinda hard to listen to a smart-*****! I am saying that the all ignition systems should have good quality connectors. How are the hundreds of people out there going to know about a loose pin. Most people do not read all you books and the data is not in the manual that comes with the engine. You seem to think everyone that touched a DLE engine has read all your postings.....
