Wire Bundling

Robert, should I be concerned with bundling the ignition cutoff wires together with the wires coming off the external ignition battery switch along with the LED wires passing thru the same hole,,, as seen in the pic?

My wire installation is not permanent yet but wanted to make sure before hand

thanks, BV

Hi,
The whole idea of the fiber-optic cable is to get the ignition wiring as far from the radio wiring as possible. The fiber-optic receiver can have its wires intermingled with the ignition wires and nothing will feed back. The fiber-optic receiver wiring will not be affected by the ignition wiring. Hope I answered your question.

Hi,
Yes, even 2.4GHz receivers are not immune to ignition noise. In fact, Hitec had a problem with their 2.4GHz receivers and ignition noise when they first came out. First they blamed all ignition kills and then discovered they were having issues in gas planes without kills. They had to mod their firmware and I suspect the hardware at some point. Since the Cutoff fiber-optic receiver is designed to be in the area of the ignition it is designed to be immune to the ignition noise.
