The new AMA rules require that the Fail-Safe timeout before shutting off the engine is 2 seconds. The JetCat ECU default time is 3 seconds. You can set this to 2 seconds in the Limits Menu. There are actually two settings. One is for the time before the engine is lowered to idle and the other is the time before it is shut-off. The timeout before the engine goes to idle is 0.1 seconds. Do not change this value.
With ECUs that are software V5.0B and later are already set to the 2 second default time-out.

JetCat USA is now offering Duralite Lithium Manganese batteries. With their capability for sustained 20C discharge rate, they are perfect for all our engines, even the P200 with kerosene start. They are about the same size and weight as our standard NiCad but over 3 times the capacity! Unlike LiPoly, they have non combustible chemistry and are impact tolerant.
Standard 2 cell 7.4v 3800mah packs with 18" wires and JetCat compatible plug. We do not recommend using a 3 cell 11.1v packs even though our ECU has this option.
Full factory service and support is available at JetCat USA.
All engines purchased from JetCat USA or JetCat USA's authorized dealers meet JetCat USA's stringent quality controls and include all our additional components that make your JetCat products the best available for the USA, Canada and South America. Every engine that JetCat USA ships is run in our test cell confirming your product meets all specifications.
JetCat USA's limited warranty and non-warranty service will also apply to JetCat purchases made from JetCat USA's partners outside of the USA, Canada and South America but only if the JetCat products are drop shipped from JetCat USA or sold through one of our authorized dealers. Check with JetCat USA if your dealer is an authorized JetCat USA dealer. Otherwise, warranty and non-warranty service must be performed by JetCat Germany!
