Bill & Peter,
Just so we're clear....I love that device. I also believe the people that take the time to install something like this have checked their failsafe and have several safeguards against a runaway. I do, however, believe that if there is a possibility, there is still a chance for something to go wrong somewhere at sometime (I think there's a law about this somewhere ). IF the rule were to pass on the next cycle (since it is already passed for FAI) and it were to mirror something like the FAI rule, the reason why the Emcotec would be deemed unacceptable is because there is no physical disconnect between the batteries and the ESC/Motor. That really is my only point. Of course, this rule would not REQUIRE an arming plug...you could just simply open the canopy and plug the batteries in.

I have used the Anderson Plugs in both my Passport and my De Ja Vus but have also had them fail in each plane. They failed properly by shutting down the system but failed none the less. The Anderson plug does not seem to like the higher voltage we run. On the Passport, the physical plug wore down and stopped making sufficient contact to maintain the connection. On the De Ja Vu, the "port" positive side did it. I have now switched over to Deans and, although I watch the connection closely, the metal does not seem to be wearing as much.
