Knock Sensors on housings

Since I have a power FC and I read somewhere that it doesnt use the knock sensor... is that true? If it doesnt use them then I will just remove them and block off the holes. Let me know please. Thanx

The power fc doesnt use the knock sensor readings to adjust your ignition or anything eles, but it does take readings from the knock sensor so YOU can make any adjustments that are needed.
If you want to tune your timming in your going to need a knock sensor.
And the hole for the knock sensor in the rotor housings are emply holes that dont have to be pluged up

The wiring is only long enough to be on #1 rotor, but it really doesn't matter.
Since the #2 rotor tends to detonate more, placing it there might be better.
