Hi Roy,

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to use the Smart-Fly switch on your plane. As Glen said, please describe your radio setup so we can understand where the problem is.

Cheers

If it uses a electronic ignition (ie powered by a battery pack, not a magneto) there is no reason you can't use an optical or a Rhino kill.

The only thing you really need is a spare channel on the Rx.

Hey Glen

Check out my build thread on the Extra 260 + SPE40. All is there. eg. engine, servos (all Futaba), props used.

Otherwise send me a PM as I dont want to hijack this thread

2nd RX switch as per Howies (from DA) instructions. Smart Fly said I couldnt use a "Y" leas as the kill needs a channel to itself.

Rhino Kill sounds good

Roy, I am using a 7 channel receiver in my H9260. I connect the throttle servo and the second battery input to the same receiver channel via a Y-lead and this leaves a dedicated channel for the ignition kill switch. I decided to use the the throttle servo since it should be the one drawing the least current.

This setup should work fine with your Smart Fly switch.

Cheers
Jeremy

roysta thats how you do it as rhino said

[Royster]

Thanks Guys!

Mmmm so I wonder why the Smart boys (pun intended) didnt suggest that

Oky dok-ally, Howies is back in the office tomorrow from Tuscon but I think he only stocks the Electro Dynamics opti kill switch.

Are they just as good?

I think they work out about the same as Smart Fly, just to save the hassle of mail order fromTates or USA.

I have two EDR fibre optic kills in my SX, they are my preferred kill switch.

Also had one in my old 2.6 Yak which had 100's of flights without any issue.

I can thoroughly recommend them.

I know I have been away and might have missed something here, but it seems to me the solution to your problem is the subject of the thread you are posting in, sort of like going to a ford dealer and asking what is the best holden to buy
