I need a kill switch for my brillelli 46gt that's on the way. I;ve seen the fibre optic ones but 70 bucks seems like a lot to spend on a kill switch. Is there anything out there that will work for around 50 or under. I need to be able to plug it into an extra channel so i can operate it from my tx

Thanks,
Austin

Yep, the throttle servo. A choke servo also if you use one. Then there's always the standard on-off switch used for the ignition itself.

This what I use. http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=343295 works great and a good guy to buy from.

I had purchased the opto remote kill switch but one of the servo leads wasn't soldered good enough and had come off (so the way i look at is if it can't handle shipping it can't handle my plane) If it fails my engine fail, and if i'm hovering 5 ft. off the ground and the engine fails[X(] I do have to agree with you though he is a great guy to deal with and gave me a full refund.

Thanks again,
Austin

Here's what I use on all of my planes. Never had a problem.

would it work for electronic ignition

That's what I use it on. I run it between the EI and manual switch and program it onto my "A" switch on the Tx. Flick of a switch and the EI is OFF! So is the engine!!! $25.00 all day every day!!!

Great, since the rx-100 is out of stock i'll get this one http://www.rcatsystems.com/cube/inde...od&productId=4

Just as good, if not better!!!

It's on the way! Thanks guys, what would i do without RCU

What would we do without guys like Mr. Lewis.......................common sense and intelligence just stand out..........

Thanks Lou

No, thank you!! It's nice to be appreciated now and then. Especially after waking up to about $10,000.00 worth of flood damage this morning that my insurance company (Farmers) evidently won't cover. I'm always glad when I can help someone out with anything guys. BTW Mr. Lewis was my Dad and passed away in 1964. I'm just Lou!!!

It doesn't get much simpler, cheaper or more reliable than this for under $10.

If you can buy that switch, nyrod, plywood, and servo for under $10.00 you need to send me a link so I can get some. Also, solid state takes all of the possibilities of mechanical failure out of the loop.

The 100X works great, I put it in series with the manual switch. It has both a NO and NC contact so it will work well with either electronic or mag ignition.
I use mine on 1/3 Dr.1
