Go with the original part, since it is available when I checked again.
My original post regarding a replacement was made before the original part had been identified.
My defense of my alternative was made when the part was identified but not in stock.
I have seen that the AOT430 part is available. As much as I would like to prove that eblc and I are both right I can't justify using your plane for my experiment.
Half the threshold and 1/25 the Gate charge for the part I suggested so roughly 50 to 100 times more efficient at switching. Worst case is it blows immediately and you can tell that by running the engine on the ground and if it gets hot (or very warm) then the switching efficiency was likely not enough to save the transistor. I was counting on the transistor staying at under a watt of dissipation through efficiency
