DA-100 ignition help/switch
Hey Fellows
How are ya, Listen I really could use some help on my DA-100 , I really should know this answer but for some reason I'm just drawing a complete blank on how to hook this up, What I want to
know is this, I have a New DA-100 and I just installed it in a 33% size airplane but
what I cant seem to figure out is how the ignition box from the DA hooks up to
the on/off switch, I have a idea but I just don't want to hook it up back wards
or maybe wrong, So if any of you guys could please walk me through this using baby steps that would be great.
Where I need you to start is at the DA's little silver ignition box, of coarse I
know the cables that go to the spark plugs, and then on the other end of the box
there are two more wires, one is the big red wire that hooks back up to the
engine, and the other is the battery wire, OK from this wire what do I need to
plug that into( I'm using a regulator for my battery so I kind of think that's
what is throwing me off a little) but anyway the battery wire that has the
opened bare ends do I install some type of j plug or do I solder it to what
ever I'm supposed to hook it up to?? I'm kind of thinking that this wire should
plug into my regulator first but like I said I'm a little confused about where
in order the Regulator, battery, switch, ignition box wire goes, So any and all your help
would be great, and thanks again...
I look forward in hearing from you...

RE: DA-100 ignition help/switch
The way i hook it up is .....
The plug with the bare ends has too be either solder or an some type of connector put on it. I prefer just to install a regular battery end on it so that your regulator will plug directly too it.
After you get the plug on plug your regultor in then plug your regulator to a switch. I use a JR charge switch here ( has the charge jack made in it ) Then simply plug your battery in to the switch.
So in reverese order it goes Battery, switch, regulator, ignition box. If you run a 4.8 battery or a 4cell battery you dont need a regulator. If your running lipo's then yes you need the regultor.
I hope this helps.
