You're welcome =) I just hope it wasn't too long =P

Anyways, to do the fuse mod you just take a mini blade type automotive fuse and solder it inline with the tail motor. It doesn't matter which wire you put it on, either the red or the black, as there is no negative ground. If you want, you can make quick disconnects for easy change out. I just used female spade connects. I got both the fuses and the connectors at the local car stereo shop. They have all sorts of stuff that you can buy one peice at a time for cheap. For the main motor you want to use 7.5A and for the tail rotor you want to use 3A. Just see post #1470 for some pics of what I did. Also check out SSG's pdf that is attached.

As far as other things you can do I got the battery monitor from SSG Scott, which is very useful for indicating when a motor is going to burn out soon, as well as saving lipo's from being drained too far. Other things you can do are brushless main motor and CNC parts. If you are just beginning, like I am, you might just stick with what you have for now, and when you need something else you'll know it =)

hrm, it would seem as though pdf's are not supported. PM me with your e-mail and I'll send it.

One other trick you can do is put a paper clip in the head instead of the sheer pin. The paperclip sheers much easier, and can prevent head damage, or bent main shafts. I forget who came up with it, but I included the picture they took just for reference. Way to go to whoever came up with it =)
