I have sold a lot of them in the last couple years and have not had one to come back.

Just make sure you set the channel it is on to full travel.

You can, WrongWayRC makes a voltage drop down because not all ignitions will take a fully charged 5 cell (7 ish volts)

All my 50cc planes use a single A123 with two outputs from WrongWay. One output goes to a switch, optical kill, diode, then ignition. One lead goes straight to the reciever.

Before the "i listen to my 8 tracks on the way to the field" crowd tells you how dangerous that is I have hundreds of flights on 3 planes in that configuration and my big Pawnee has 2 A123's, one split as above and one straight to the receiver on a Spektrum power safe receiver.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to give some thought to the idea... I'll check to see if the Syssa ignition will tolerate 6.5+ volts. Thanks for getting back. Jim
