That seems unsafe to me to have the batteries connected to the motor without an external physical circuit breaker but I'm probably overlooking some capability that can be set up using a Futaba 14MZ. With the advanced planes that are a little awkward to a carry around armed and where the hatch has to be screwed into the fuse for extra canalyzer security it seems like an accident waiting to happen this way.<br> <br>So for those that know how to relatively safely set this up could you pass on the formula? My new Mythos doesn't have an external arming plug and I'm beginning to think I made a mistake.<br> <br>thx,<br>lucky<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">_______________________________________________ NSRCA-discussion mailing list <a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a> <a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NSRCA-discussion mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a></span></div></blockquote></div></div>_______________________________________________
