Default Re: SmartFly Ignition Kill On Y Connector

First, Mr. Ritchey, please accept my apologies for my initial reply before yours. When I made that reply I didn't realize this was your manufacturer's forum. Sorry 'bout that.

I think this Gregg's situation - he simply doesn't have enough channel slots on his receiver to individually accommodate all of his servos plus the ignition kill as well as the battery. He probably has enough for his servos plus battery. Many times, the smaller receivers doesn't have a discrete battery slot. I've had this situation myself.

Ex) 7 ch receiver--> 5 servos for primary surfaces + throttle = 6 slots. The last slot on many 7 ch receivers is a shared slot for ch 7/battery. It requires a Y to use that 7th channel.

Same problem occurs with some 8 ch receivers if one runs a choke servo or a retract servo, etc.
