I picked up a switch harness for the ignition system of my new gas airplane. Heavy duty construction, charge jack and a built in LED to remind you of ignition status. Hooked up the seventh servo to the retract channel for an electronic choke.Works great and doubles as a kill switch.

Hi Steve. I'd post pictures but don't know how. The airplane is a seagull edge 540. Engine is a RCG 26cc. Radio is a hitec laser 6. Six metal gear high torque servos for control surfaces and choke. Standard servo for throttle. I had to rewire one elevator servo for reverse rotation to work with a Y harness. 3000ma. 6 volt for radio. 4.8 volt for ignition. The engine assy. weighs 45 oz. so I was able to mount the elevator servos in the rear of the airplane without screwing up the cg. It's mostly finished except for fuel and ignition systems. I'll try and bring to the next meeting. Thanks for the interest,Roger
If its like the SEAGULL Edge I had (60 to 90) size keep it a little nose heavy for your first flight. Would snap out of a loop if to much elevator is used. Flew pretty good Looked good to. The 26cc should be more than enough power. looking forward to seeing it fly

Hi Steve. Is that the airplane you sold to Jeff? The new version does not have tail rigging. It uses an aluminum tube inside the stabilizer. Really cleans up the rear end!
