I'm assuming you are referring to the IntelliSwitch: Switch itself without wires:.......................12.2 grams (0.43 oz) Pair of 8 inch 14 AWG wires:...................10.9 grams (0.38 oz) Unit with wires:.........................................23.1 grams (0.81 oz) (Note: Wires can be shortened to match your specific need)
Nearly all chicken dance's occur because of loss of electrical power or throttle servo linkage popping off on crash. In those cases nothing other than a throttle return spring will work.
If you watched the video you will see that in that circumstance the unit will burn the glow plug to stop the chicken dance. Look at timestamp 39:40 or click on this link and watch how it solves that problem: ua-cam.com/video/H3p7JloYniQ/v-deo.html
@@vasko928 I use a return spring too but I want to have it stop even if the spring falls off or if the servo got locked and the spring can’t move it so think about this. You send the idle command to the servo and the servo for whatever reason fails to close the carb. The XGlow knows that the power is supposed to be in idle because it monitors the throttle pulse for an idle or a disconnect but it sees the RPMs still going at high RPM. It first tries to command the servo to idle in case the servo just got disconnected from the receiver. If that doesn’t work then it sends a huge pulse of power to the plug to burn it and make it stop.
This is awesome. I can't wait to get mine
This is awesome!
Very cool!
Cool unit, can you tell the weight of the switch?

@@auggiecopter I don't disagree it helps, just that it's not a silver bullet for the issue. Extra precautions are still encouraged!
