Hey Jeff,
If you did like I did, hooked it up and it didn't work, try turning on the
power switch. It really makes a difference ;^) But then if you did this then
you were just one unlucky purchaser that got a bad one.

I've had a control since the month it came out... but somehow it was DOA and
I just never got it fixed. That was like 5 years ago or so..

If you have a flight computer you need no addtional electronics. As
an example Control has 4 chanels, you can use two for dual deploy, one
for airstarts and the last for 'chute release with no addtional
systems.
