voltage

Hi All, I have a question about trying to "compare" electric motors. I'm looking at buying a Balsa Cub Kit (Link) from Sig/Alien Aircraft. The recommended motor is a Himax HC-2808-1160 (Link). If I want to fit a different motor, what are the important numbers to compare (besides dimensions)...

PWM Meter - $19.99 Need to know what PWM signal your receiver, robot or servo controller is sending? Simply plug in our PWM Meter to see a readout of the PWM signal in microseconds (µsec). If you wish to pass that signal on to your servo or device, just plug into the other set of header row...

Hey guys so came across a compact easy ground station https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2wnS1T5haY made myself one the only thing i added was lipo battery checker inline that has a momentary switch wired to it (only display voltage when i press the button). after using it for sometime thought it...

I'm pretty new, and a lot of you may know this about the Turing 9x. I made a discovery while trying to figure out how to get into the setup to enable an auxiliary channel so I could control a servo on my hex to cary and drop cargo. If I press the up or down button on the main screen...

Will over-volting destroy a motor? If so, why? Here's an interesting question: So let's say I take a motor designed for 3s and I give it 6s. When I do this, I prop way down so the motor only draws the same amount of current (or less) as it drew on the 3s setup with a bigger prop. As I...

I'm doing my first DYI build, based on the AnyCopter, and chose (based on everyone saying it's the board to use for your first build) the HK KK 2.1.5 flight controller. I've run into two minor issues (so far): 1) The fpvcentral review of the 2.1 board says " KK now supports plugging in a...

Ok, so I've got an idea for a build and before I start putting the work in, wanted to ask a question. Basically I want to build a twin engine pusher and have a specific battery setup in mind to give the stability/cg characteristics I want. The desired battery setup is as follows: One 1500mah...

Hello all, new guy here and still wrapping my head around all that is brushless. I'm building a plane and bought a Turnigy G25 (710Kv) motor for it. My question is about which battery to use with it; 3s or 4s. I want to use the 4s and reap the full potential of the motor but I'm concerned...

Hi there. I was flying my Calypso this weekend, and ran into an interesting phenomena. The lipo I was using was a new 1300 mah 3s, it came with the plane, and was fully charged when I put it in the plane. I flew for quite a while, and suddenly noticed that when I gave it throttle, the propeller...
