There are not many sensors that will prevent it from starting. Only ones I can think of is the Air Flow Meter and the distributor position pickup. It needs to see air flow for about a second before it runs the injectors. Some are a 'don't care' until it's up and running, and others are ignored...

I brought a couple. One crashed - long story. The other was the smaller racing quad. Both were custom builds from parts and kits.

Here's my video contribution. Hope you like.
