Kill Switch for Gas CHI ignition
Hi you guys,
I have some old Futaba switch harnesses that might work as a kill switch for my Brillelli 26 that has C & H ignition. Any suggestions? |

Re: Kill Switch for Gas CHI ignition
Thanks Jack for the reply.
I rigged the switch harness to pushed by a servo and that works OK. I wasn't pleased with how much oomph it took to push & pull the switch. I went to the hardware store and bought a 69 cent light switch and took all the metal parts off. I drilled a hole in the toggle for the push rod & installed the light switch. This light switch is a cream puff to push/pull back & forth by the servo. This might actually work. |

Re: Kill Switch for Gas CHI ignition
I just bought a kill switch from RCU. A guy posts them over there for $24. Best money I ever spent. Save the weight of a servo. Its an optical kill switch so no mechanical parts to fail and still works to do its job if the RX dies. Weighs like 4 grams or something ridiculous. If your radio dies, your engine will be shut off as well which could potentially save a life or make your plane salvageable.

Re: Kill Switch for Gas CHI ignition
Thanks much for the replies. The GP Giant Big Stik had a successful maiden flight last night. My cheapo (light switch) kill switch works like a charm.
