This can be done by removing the spark plug from the cylinder and attaching the plug on
the outside of the crankcase. Have an assistant turn the engine over while checking this
and be sure to have the spark plug firmly plugged into the ignition wire.
Warning: The high voltage from the ignition can cause bodily harm, especially when
checking for spark in this manner.
Optional Digital Tachometer (not included)
An optional Digital Tachometer is available that can be directly connected to the ignition
and display the RPM of the engine.The Futaba ® DSC Charge Adapter can be mounted
in the fuselage and allows easy external plug-in of the Digital Tachometer.
Many of the RCGF 8.4 V Ignition modules have an additional lead to plug into the Digital
Tachometer. If your 6.V old ignition module does not have this additional lead, the Digital
Tachometer can still be used. Simply use the Y-harness (included with the Digital
Tachometer) to connect to the pick-up lead from the engine. Be sure to secure all
connections and to secure the Digital Tachometer or leads on the aircraft used.
