Great video! I just bought that kill switch for a 5th scale gas buggy. I also had that exact Hobbico Avistar trainer plane. It was my first fly plane as well, 2000 I think. The original owner built it with the wing angled to where it would do loops from what I remember. I traded it for an old ABC Hobby NorthWind 28-400 sailboat and a glider (aprx 9ft wing span) with a Cox style, wing-top engine to get it up in the air (ran out of fuel quickly). I don't remember the model name. Believe or not I think I have that same radio you showed as well, still have it best I remember. I worked with a man that was into RC airplanes for aprx 20yrs and he was retiring (2003). He sold me his life long collection of RC planes, radios, rx, servos, props, etc. He sold the collection because he wanted to buy a RV to travel in after retirement. He sold it all for what he still needed to buy the RV. I have a room full of vintage plane items as well as old pancar items, mostly Bolink cars...lol. I'm now mainly running boats, 5th scale gas/electric trucks, and 4wd brushless trucks. I'm glad to see people enjoying the old school RC's still. It's also nice to see the old school items wanted & not shrugged apon. I can imagine your son will be flying at an early age if not already flying. Anyway, thanks again for the video and for bringing back some memories too! RC for life right? Have a good one!

Great channel! I am installing this RCEXl kill switch on a baja5b, so my question is, does this kill switch require a separate battery from the battery used to power the receiver? Can you use it also with the same battery as the receiver? And how would you go about it? Thanks!

Let's say, something happens, like the opti-kill fails, there is a video of a large size gas plane dead sticking. This occurred later in the flight, so all was functioning for some time. The cause according to the video was the opti-kill. It can be used for other functions, but from a point of safety, it is primarily handling throttle failures. For me"the juice ain't worth the squeeze"
