RE: spark ignition for turbines
I remember using spark ignition on JPX turbines drove the 35 MHz FM RX nuts. Same with your system, or did you test it with 2.4 Ghz ?
It was rather dangerous as it also drove the servos beyond the mechanical limits of both the gears and the surfaces+links.
I had to switch off the RX as long as I had the spark ignition button pushed in, and moved the throttle servo by hand.
Personally, I do not see the big advantage of a probably rather expensive and "heavy" system over replacing a cheap and light glow plug every now and then...?

I keep repeating, there has been no problems whatsoever , not with the starting or with regular operations.
The system is not that expensive and quite light.
I am using 72 mhz.
