Default What do I need to order????

Ok guys Im new to gas planes and the more I read the more I get overwhelmed with power systems...


Heres what I have...
Pilot 50cc Extra 260
Dl 50
8611s on ailerons and elevators and 8711 for rudder
Dx7
AR9100
Smartfly ignition cutoff


Ok what batteries should I get. I am looking at the Fromeco Iron corp extreme. should I run a reg. 1 or 2 batts ?
Should I run the switch that comes with the 9100 or...
and do I need a separate switch for the ignition ? What ignition batt?
Oh and whats a good break in prop for the dl ?

sorry for all the questions and I have reserched but with so many options I feel like bludgeoning myself the the keyboard

If it were me I'd order two of these for the RX, smaller, lighter, cheaper and work just as well.

Then I'd order one of these for the ignition with a separate switch.

I just run the regular cermark switch for the ignition which is only about $16.00 at the LHS.

Use the switch that came with the 9100rx but realize you need to unplug your batteries if your going to let the plane sit for a long period of time because the fail safe switch constantly draws a small amount of current.

Keep it simple! I've used those batteries quite a lot and they work absolutely great. They are a Fromeco product so you know the quality is good. You don't need any regulators with the Iron Corps or the Iron Corps Extreme batts.

I'm not sure on a break in prop for the DL, probably a 22x8 like the DA-50 uses I would guess but others may know better.

If you are in the market for some Li-ion. The 42 percent product batteries are good. If you need some send me a pm with you contact info. I can make you a combo package deal with regulators and batt. if you are intrested.
