I was wondering what to set my fail safe at. Would i have it stop the
engine all together which would be pretty safe or sit at idle in case
the fail safe is just being over sensitive? Thanks in advance.

I have acquired a K&B 7.5cc outboard motor...it looks brand new and I can
not tell if it has ever even seen a drop of fuel.  The compression is great

I am building an air boat for my nephew out of bits I've
picked up here and there and I've come up with a question.
I'm using a speed 600 brushed motor with a 3800 mAh, 6 cell
NIMH battery pack and a 35 amp ESC with a BEC.

Thanks
