<DIV><FONT size=2>What I would like to find is a fuse holder with an easy to
insert/remove fuse (automotive blade type for example) of appropriate amp
rating. I can find 40 amp automotive fuses. Highest rating fuse
holder I have found is 20 amp. My system pulls 25 amp continuous max
throttle static, so the appropriate fuse is available... but not the
holder.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Pull the fuse... the motor's guaranteed dead. and if
somethig does happen where the prop is chewing an arm or foot, the current
should blow the fuse (if its sized correctly) at least reducing the damage
done. A fuse would also potentially protect the power system (those
expensive lipos especially) in some crashes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I like the idea of an arming switch... but a fuse could do the
same job and more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Note... my understanding of a "deadman switch" is from how its
explained for a modern desil locomotive... if the operator dies, he can't keep
holding the switch and the locomotive is supposed to stop. (supposed
to...) Thus a deadman switch on a model would... stop the motor as soon as
you let go.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Maybe a misnomer is involved somewhere?</FONT></DIV>

engines. I have a $35,000 right arm to prove it. Had one spontaneously start
on me at the field while my forearm was in the way. Chewed through my
forearm clear to the bone, severing my artery, muscle, and ulnar nerve. Very
messy. Took 2 years of surgury and therapy before I could fly again.
Electric motors are more serious in that they draw more amps if they are
impeded, in effect they try "harder" to overcome the force opposing it, like
thumbs, fingers, and arms. Still fly electrics, but treat them very
differently now......<BR><BR><B><I>wgalligan

<DIV>I have seen a few electrics majicaly start unattended and

while they were rebuilding. It warns of weather changes and also
serves as an alarm clock (sometimes).</DIV>

<DIV>About two years ago I got my finger in one It cut the right
index finger off at the first joint. Wrapped the finger in
a towel went to the hospital with the severed finger, three
month's and $6000.00 later it was almost as good as new except
it is still numb on the end. APC's show no mercy.</DIV>
