Yes, unfortunately China is a "sleeping giant" just now waking up to modern technology. Once they solve their quality control issues they will be an unstoppable force we will have to deal with. America experienced its industrial revolution almost 100 years ago. Now China is experiencing its technological revolution. China has been around for over a thousand years. The US has been around for only a couple hundred years. Incidentally, I have the Laser 200 with everything in the picture ( see early posts), plane, engine, 821 servos, DX-7 receiver and 2 batteries for sale for $400 plus an extra set of wings and empenage for free with airplane.. I picked up the ignitions when I was in Taiwan & China back in december and have no use for them now so selling them to anyone who needs one or just wants to pick up a spare. The gas engine planes are VERY economical to run, make hardly any mess compared to nitro plane but are a little to large for me to transport in my car so have gone to 45" size electric planes which are still big enough to see, yet small enough to easily transport. Our hobby is evolving at a faster and faster pace just like computers started doing a few years back. We will all have to learn to change and adapt along with it or be left behind. trike |

I was out at the field again. Now the engine starts very easily and gives plenty of power. So far so good but I had to eliminate the JST connector between the CDI and the pack because it was poorly soldered and caused massive missing during flight. I tried hovering and it does it OK but as someone here pointed earlier, there's no vertical punch out. At least not for now (3/4 gallon). The bird now weighs 11 lbs 10 oz wet. Take offs are short and easy thanks to instant low rpm power and the sound the little engine makes it quite intimidating. My Extra looks and sounds like the real deal when doing large loops and high altitude aerobatics. I'm sold on this technology and I can guarantee to never invest another dime in glow engines and only restrict the use of electrics to parkflyers. 3 cell is a good place to be. . |

D. Rodil the RCexl igniton is what BCMA sells with their modified SPE 26 engines I have a BCMA 26 and a SPE 26 NIB if anyone wants them. They have same ignition I also have 2 BCMA 40's and a 48 Twin all NIB. Also an FPE 21 NIB but it has a different electronic ignition OS 70 4 stroke NIB and a used OS 70 Also have 2 Seagul Super Star and 1 Laser 200 NIB League Extra 330L, Will Hobby Yak 1.40, Balsa Nova 1.20 and Thunder Tiger Gile 202 1.40 all NIB PLEASE PM ME FOR PRICE so we don't get any panties in a wad again. I am not here to rain on any dealers parade. This hobby is getting to fragile for that with the Chinese starting to advertise direct here in US. Like I said earlier, I am liquidating ALL my gas & nitro stuff and going exclusively electric. I may later regret it because the one thing electrics don't have is that GREAT SOUND ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Best Regards to all - Trike |

I'm running a Hawk 18x6 wood, I think it may look like a Xoar. I got it from HiModel.com. Right now I'm in the process of switching the 4 cell Nicad pack I'm using on the ignition for a Dualsky regulated 1800 mAh 2S Lipo. The radio pack is already converted to Lipos. Lipos take a long, long tme to discharge and that gives me peace of mind.

I run a 6V 1650mah Nimh. I tried two brand new 4.8V packs fully charged to 5.53V and when they get to 4.8V - 4.9V the motor starts to miss and quits. My 6V packs fully charged are @ 6.72V ( no load ) and 6.67V ( with a load ). The motor runs perfectly with that voltage. I wrote CRRC Pro and they told me ( We suggest users power the ignition with 4.8v battery packs . But the ignition can work normal between 4v - 7v. They seem to be many of you using 4.8V packs, but mine will only run till the voltage reaches 4.8V-4.9V ( about 20 minutes ). I am one that needs 6V to run. |
