			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made the mistake of burning out my 4in1 for my new Honey Bee v2.  So in preparation for my new 4in1, I decided to install the fuse mod.  Most tutorials showed how you can solder a 7.5A blade connector directly to the motor.  However, I wanted to be able to replace or remove the fuse easily.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s what you need:</p>
<p><strong>Male/Female JST connector wires</strong> (the original motor connectors fit into the JST females perfectly)<br />
<strong>7.5A mini blade fuse</strong> for main motor<br />
<strong>3A mini blade fuse</strong> for tail motor<br />
*** You can use the bigger blades too but I wanted to keep the weight down for the heli<br />
<strong>Quick disconnectors</strong><br />
<strong>Shrink-wrap tubing </strong>(electrical tape would work too but not perferred)</p>
<p>1.  Solder the black wires of the male/female connectors together.  Use shrink-wrap to cover up the exposed solder joint.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-434" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-03" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-03-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-03" width="300" height="225" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-435" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-04" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-04-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-04" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>2.  Put the 2 red wires together but don&#8217;t solder them.  I put shrink-wrap around them just to keep them together.  These will connect to the fuse with the quick disconnectors.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-436" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-05" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-05-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-05" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>3.  Crimp on the quick disconnetors and plug in the blade fuse.  I covered up the quick disconnects with shrink-wrap as well so I don&#8217;t short anything.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-438" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-07" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-07-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-07" width="300" height="225" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-437" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-06" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-06-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-06" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>4.  I made 2 fuse holders.  One with a 3A fuse for the tail motor, and a 7.5A holder for the main motor.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-439" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-08" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-08-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-08" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>5.  Plug the male JST connector into the 4in1 of your Honey Bee.  Plug the black motor cable into the female JST connector.  NOTE: Make sure of the polarity too, red is positive, black is negative.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-440" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-09" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-09-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-09" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>6.  Zip-tie both the fuse holders to a location that is out of the way of the main gears and blades.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-441" title="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-10" src="http://ehsia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-10-300x225.jpg" alt="2009-10-11-honey-bee-v2-fuse-mod-10" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>These fuse holder will work with all Honey Bee&#8217;s and co-axial heli&#8217;s like the V3/V4 Lama (they probably use 5A or 7.5A fuses).  I&#8217;m going to make a set for the 2 main motors on the eSky Lama too.</p>
