I finally got the 550 back into the air this afternoon! Man this bird is awesome! Wish I had the skills to fly it like it should be flown!
I'm having some issues though with the ESC, not sure what the cause of the problem is either. After flying around for about 3 min or so, If I land and shutdown, then try to spool back up to take off again it starts acting stupid. Gets about half way through the spool up and then cuts the throttle way back down low and won't completely spool up.
I'm not too sure if it's the PWM and Timing settings I was using or what. I checked the Cell voltage in the batteries to make sure it wasn't the LVC activating in the ESC. The one battery was at 3.7v on the lowest cell and the other battery was at 3.81v was the lowest cell reading. So I know it can't be the LVC activating. I have it set at 3.1v to slow down.
I had the PWM set at 12khz and 6 degrees on the timing. But after reading Paul's answer to an earlier post I made when I started the build, I have changed the PWM to 10khz and changed the timing to 18 degrees as he suggested. But won't be able to test these settings until tomorrow morning as it's already dark now. Anyone have any other suggestions as to what my problem could be?
Thanks!
