Re: Newbie question

Not that I know much, but isn't it bad sense to put a fuse where it will
disconnect the radio (thru the BEC) (and lose total control of the plane)
in the event of a motor/ESC/wiring fault? A fuse between the ECS and
motor is fine, but elsewhere???

I would have though protecting the radio and servos access to the battery
for safety reasons would be the prime approach - ie better to lose an ESC
than risk hitting someone with a totallly out of control plane
