Gator-RC CDI-BEC: The Ultimate Ignition Kill Switch

Simplify your gas-powered aircraft and enhance safety with the Gator-RC CDI-BEC. This advanced Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC) and Optical Kill Switch allows you to power your CDI ignition directly from your receiver battery, eliminating the weight and maintenance of a dedicated ignition pack. Designed and manufactured in the USA, it provides total optical isolation to prevent spark noise from ever reaching your receiver.

🛡️ Advanced Noise Suppression & Safety

Equipped with a state-of-the-art CLC Filter section and feedthrough capacitors, this unit is engineered to block CDI interference. The integrated Auto-Shutdown feature monitors your receiver battery; if voltage drops below 4.10V for 10 seconds, the engine is safely cut—because a dead-stick landing is always better than a loss of control.

Key Features

  • Eliminate the Extra Battery: Safely powers your ignition from any receiver battery technology (NiCad, NiMH, A123, LiPo, Li-Ion).
  • Selectable Voltage Output: Eight precision voltage ranges (5.0V to 8.0V) to match any CDI module's requirements.
  • Total Optical Isolation: Physical separation of the ignition and receiver circuits prevents signal cross-talk and RF noise.
  • Transmitter-Controlled Kill Switch: Turn your engine on and off remotely from a dedicated transmitter channel.
  • Premium Construction: 4-layer circuit board with solid ground planes and heavy-duty 22AWG leads for minimal voltage drop.
  • Field-Replaceable Green LED: High-visibility status indicator with constant current driver for consistent brightness.

💡 Gator-RC Modeler’s Tip: Set Your Voltage

Before your first flight, check your CDI module's recommended voltage. The Gator-RC CDI-BEC allows you to "set and forget" the exact output your ignition needs. Most modern CDIs love 6.6V–7.4V, but if you're using older 4.8V rated modules, be sure to select the 5.0V output to prevent damage.
