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.

I use them in all my gassers and get them from RCExtremePower.net

I usually use 3 battery packs ( 2 6volt and 1 4.8 for ign. Can I use two 6 v0lt nimh one with a Y going to the ign. shut off and to the rec. and one only to the rec? There would be 2 switches......Thanks Jim

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
