Research this thread. You'll see a lot of people using them and I have never heard of one failing. Mine has been in use for several years now. I use it with a 2100 LiFe pack and get quite a few...

When I said control the ignition with a switch, I didn't mean to imply a separate switch on the aircraft. I meant a switch on the transmitter for what ever channel it's plugged into. Just make sure...

I'm using the Dubro low bounce and those plus the DLE20 up front have me mounting about 2 oz of weight on the tail, but you know what? This combo is still a rocket ship, will land slow with a slight...

I'm going to put my phone in mine one of these days to see what the GPS says, but I hear it is not very accurate as far as speed. I'm wondering is there a minimum distance you should travel for GPS...
