Engine kill devices

I have an AURORA 9 running 7 CH RX. Is there any problem using any of the gas engine kill devices? I am not sure what is happening but I am using a Smart Fly optical kill and during flight I had the engine stop the restart and about 45 seconds later it did it again. I made a panic landing only to have the engine start back up. Without stopping the engine I went back up for 5 more minutes and it did not happen again. The TX did not beep and the RX voltage was perfect. Any ideas?
I have another plane with the same 7 CH RX and I have the 42% kill and it is working fine.
