I got a Hitec Aurora 9 tx/rx and apart from using the Smartfly engine cutoff switch, can I use the throttle cut in the tx software to cut the engine?

It goes between the switch and the module. Dan.

Are you talking about one of those switch that the rxer battery is plugged into? On the smartfly optical rxer their is a plug marked switch, I am not sure what switch that is, I am thinking about one of those switch with the battery connector,charge and reciever plug, is that the case Dan???

My main goal is to cutoff the engine from the transmitter stick thru a auxilary channel.

The Smart-Fly transmitter plugs into the R/C receiver channel that you want to control with a switch on your R/C transmitter to kill the engine. The Smart-Fly receiver plugs into the line from the ignition switch that normally goes to the ignition module. Dan.

Found out why I was having trouble with my Smartfly optical ignition cutoff system or why I was thinking it was being setup properly, the problem was with a low battery pack and a bad LED diode, charged battery and replaced led and walaaaaa!!! Thanks again Dan for the input.

Glad to help. If your battery pack was low, you should put it on your cycler and make sure the capacity is within 20% of its original value. If not, replace it. If your battery pack is more than three years old, you should replace it with a new one. Just a couple of tips to keep you flying instead of that other stuf. Dan.
