There was a recall notice from Castle months ago with a simple fix for a mfg
defect in the first run of ice2 hv160's that cause the fire.

Yesterday i had a HV 1.60 burn up in my 89" Slick after flying for 5
minutes.  Had four flights earlier in the day and nothing and on the fourth
flight of the day poof.  Any one have any idea what's going on with Castle,
I have heard of these catching fire, but thought the folks that were using
either didn't solder the joints properly or were pulling too many amps.  My
Set up is a hacker Q80 M 7, pulling 120 Amps wide open throttle.  Plane can
be repaired but was looking forward to performing my freestyle routine for
our Labor day air show; not anymore.....
