3D to iBEc or not to iBEc that is my question

[jaybird]

Same here. I have a few and never an issue.

Like others say, if it ain't broke, then why fix it. You just need some way to kill power to the ignition. It doesn't matter how you do it. Servo and micro switch is how alot of folks do it.

I'm not sure I get it. Do you mean some way to kill ignition power other than with the IBEC? Isn't that the purpose of the control signal from the rx to the IBEC?

Never, I've probably bought two dozen of them over the last few years. Not one problem on any 20-120cc engine.

Terry flew a 20cc.

Yup, couple of 'em!! I think I've had just about everything 20, 26, 30, 35, 40, 40 twin, 50, 52, 55 , 60, 60 twin, 61, 70 twin, 100, 111, 120, 150, 170, 176.

Only ones I did not run on ibec is the 150+. Not really sure why. I only have one 40% left with a 176 and I run an ignition kill with batter draw off one of the flight packs. Power safe RX. No problems.

Sorry, in a short rush there........ Provided you are running an ignition pack, is when you need some sort of kill switch. But if not running an ignition pack, then none of what I said is needed. Using ibec, rcexl works great! Ive been using rcexl for a couple years without issue.

Still trying to work thru the android mobile and tablet issues. Need a bit more time to check into the fix..

Ok, thanks. I just wired up an iBEC in my new Edge this week-end, but haven't fired it up yet. Was afraid I had missed the point somewhere.

Oh I "DO" like that one.

Yea I can use that picture on a lot of threads here

I have also never had an issue with Tech-Aero IBEC. Terry, why stop at a 176? I think your capable of a 200 or larger
