Default Twin Tigercat

Hi -

I am currently converting my ESM F7F Tigercat from glow engines to gas engines (Two CRRC 26cc engines). I already have single engine gas engine planes but the Tigercat will be my first gas powered twin engine airplane. Can anyone tell me if I should use two kill switches, one kill switch for each electronic ignition box or can I use one kill switch using a "Y" harness going each electronic ignition box? I use the kill switches that Tower Hobbies sells, sorry I can't remember the name at the moment. Thanks for any advice!

I used 2 on my ESM C-47, don't know that its a must, they are controlled by the same channel. Have individual battery packs for each ignition module.

So did you use one "Y" harness cable from the Rx to the two kill switches?
