not sure what you have or need Brian, but Thunderbolt RC is a good scource. I don't know the politics of ordering from GH if you live in Edmonton - they may ship to you from PEI  Huh

My guess would be you need an fiber optic kill switch for the ignition so you can shut the engine off from the TX (mandatory with gas engines)

You also need a straight voltage regulator from the battery to the RX, because you say you have older gear.

I would also strongly recommend you get a flight pack switch that has some kind of fail safe feature - "Fails On"!!  Vibration will kill a slide switch.

You can run both the ignition and the RX from a single battery pack. Most LiPo's and Lifes have multi wires out - usually 1 deans and 2 Futaba type.

Now all the other pundits can chime in and tell you where I'm wrong ....  This is Good

Not sure why you'd need a power box for the 30CC Brian, but if you do, or for any other application, I'd strongly suggest you stay away from anything that has those toggle switches - they are bad news...

IMHO

This the switch I am using on my 61cc.  Best I could find in the market.  Didn't want to take any chances after my incident in Margaree  Cry

Looks pretty good Ben - and doesn't need a regulator like my Smart Fly pin switch
