If Gyro did not clear it up here are some basics.
HV servos are designed to run unregulated which is the advantage of using them
In a model this big you want some RX power redundancy. For me it is either a Powersafe RX, Wolverine switch from Fromeco, or a Smart Fly product. These all have true battery sharing and a bad battery will become isolated unlike a 2 switch system. Another option is the Scorpion back up guard which I bought one for testing this season.
For ignition power I only use Tech Aero IBECs. In our group there must be at least 20 of these things without a single failure or issue that I know of. They are in NJ as well so you will get it in a day.

Wow something from N.J that's rare. Well I just ordered the VVRC twin now hope it fits,I can't wait to hear this engine. I will keep you guys updated on the build.

Did you order the 1/4-32 plug version VVRC twin? I know that version will fit but not sure about the CM6 plug version.

Tech Aero IBEC's are the best for sure

Or the smart-fly optical kill. I think the key with the kill switch is with the optical kill that filters the freq from the Rx to the ignition right? That's what you want. No feedback voltage from the igintion to the rx seperating the two different electrical paths so that you don't get a faults positive to the rx causing a brown out? Am I thinking right? Buddy check?

Most anything from smart fly is a good product electrically. I just don't like having a separate battery for the ignition when it uses so little relative to my powersafe electrical system. Less weight and complexity. Just a personal preference.

I did order the 1/4 32 version. My cowl width i think was like 8.5 " so needed to as short as possible but i hope these little plugs are not going to be a pain with fowling and them not being as common. I hope the throttle and choke lincage will be an easy setup. I am prob going to go with the Badger switch and Tech Aero setup for electrics after taking to Gary. The only question i have about the Tech Aero is there a filter on it because RC Feen makes a good point about the filter side of things. Do you think its totaly needed?

Yes, the tech aero is something like triple filtered for EM issues.
The Badger is a good product for one battery and dual inputs into the RX. I like running dual batteries so that leads me to use the Wolverine. I use 2x 2s 1300s instead of one 2600.
