[NSRCA-discussion] Need a little help with ICE HV80 setup

[Chris]

Hi Ed,

Change to insensitive and it will never happen again.  The way it was 
explained to me was that the controller only needed to see 1 
(millisecond?) of 100 and it shuts down where an insensitive setting 
would require a sustained reading of 100 to shut down.  On a fast 
throttle up it certainly is possible to get a little spike and activate 
the cutoff. Your setup depending on the batteries should be about 80-85 
amps peak static.

Enjoy that plane!

Chris
