Yes

Just like Blkbird68 said, it's okay to do so, just don't not run your gas motor blubbering rich as you would a ringed glow engine. Adjust the HS needle for max rpm and back off 300, and then tune the LS needle for best transition. Just like glow, running a gas motor lean is a big no no.

Good info,, I'm sure I'll have more questions once I get closer to firing up the engine.

Thanks!

ditto on what karolh said, especially when it's on the ground as opposed to unloading in the air and getting more cooling.

Got some goodies in for Ralph’s engine (which I should get the next few weeks).

Quick stupid question on the pitts. If need be (or if I wanted to) can the exhaust tubes be trimmed? Or will this screw up the performance / sound?

Thanks!

Are you using the RC100 as an ignition switch? If so, has anyone else out there done this, or know if there is risk of RF interference since the ignition will be wired to the receiver through this switch?

In reality the switch is plugged into the Rx and spliced into the ignition battery circuit and not the ignition directly. I plan on using one and posed that very same question to the RCATS rep who advised me that it's use would not cause any RF interference. You can check their website at: [email protected] . HTH

The exhaust tubes can be trimmed to any length you want, no problem...

I am using the RC100 as a transmitter controlled kill switch. It's a relay so there is not a direct connection from the receiver to the ignition.

sorry for the misleading words...

What I meant was: If we are educated to keep ignition components as far away from the flight pack as possible, relay or not, we're putting an electrical component from each source right next to each other right?

Glad you looked into it, I will check it out more too so I understand better.

My engine came in today... Yaie!
