Mark,
Per an email reply from Tracey on 12/30/04, he indicated the ECU's maximum current draw is 1/4 amp.  (controller, not including injectors or spark.)  Tracey did not suggest a breaker size, in my application I selected 2 3amp breakers.  I have 2 18 gauge wires from the CBs to the controller with diodes on the controller end.  The wiring may be oversized, but I am building a canard so the run is long, and I wanted to minimize voltage drop for obvious reasons.

Ed,

Since you’re running breakers on the flight critical stuff, can you tell me the recommended breaker size for the EC-2 controller?  Tracy seems to have hidden this information somewhere in the fine print.  I’m assuming that it would be the same for the 3-rotor engine?
