The DLE 20 will be my first gas engine. I have some questions about the required accessories to operate the engine. I know that AMA requires a kill switch. A friend, who has much more experience than, I programs his throttle for extra low throttle operated by a tx switch to kill his engine. Is this an acceptable alternative? I also want to operate the ignition and radio with an A123 pack. What do I need to purchase to accomplish this? Do I need a need switch harness to fly gas?
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Frank, the kill switch is something that most of the gasser users should have installed, what will happen if your throttle servo goes stuck or fail at full throttle. Its better to invest just a few bucks for that insurance. Valley View RC has the 42% opto kill which is one of the best on the market and simple to install.
For a gasser you need(or at least is what i have), switch for the rx, on switch for the ignition, so you can kill the ignition from the tx or the normal switch. If you look, there is one battery for each application.
Best Regards,
