[NSRCA-discussion] Arming Switch

[Bill's Email]

I use the 60/120 model in both airplanes and helis. No issues. 60 amps 
continuous with spikes to 120 allowed. I asked Emcotec what they 
considered the spike/transient time and their response was "tens of 
second at a time). Mine has never been an issue.
