I'm new to this posting type thing so I hope you can forgive me if I'm doing some thing wrong.
I'm having trouble that I hope to try to work out.
I have been building foamies because they are cheap, and fun to build. When I crash, as long as the motor is ok I'm not out anything.
But back to the trouble. I have been having brownout which in turn cuts out all power and it dives nose first into the sod.
The Castle ESC 7575 gets hot. The Cheetah 2217-04 also gets hot. The Pulse 2250mAh battery stays warm but not hot. I have a Spektrum DX5e transmitter and AR6100e receiver.
I have bound the receiver but after the crash it is blinking. This makes me think brownout.
I have also just ran the plane on the bench and it kicks out but will restart soon after.
The motor is running a 8X6 SF prop , with the thinking it would be a slow flyer giveing me more time to react while trying to learn to fly. Is this prop to large and causing everything to work harder and then overheat.
I hope all this makes sense. I would appreciate any comments you can come up with just try not to empty my wallet I already have to deal with the wife.
