I bought a Sky Climber a few months back and from day one I had problems with "windmilling" when I cut the throttle. The general advice was, buy a better ESC. So I did! I purchased a generic 30A Hobby King unit, including the programming card, activated the "brake" feature... but today, the same thing happened! GRRRRRR!
I confirmed the ESC is set correctly (3 beeps for cells, 2 beeps for brake on startup), flew into a 30 kmph headwind today and the prop refuses to fold. On the ground, the prop stops spinning at zero throttle, but not so in the air. I notice that there isn't really any resistance on the prop on zero throttle, so where is my brake?
Could it be a fault with the motor? Do I have a dodgy ESC? How do I test it?
I'd really like to figure this out before the warm thermal weather arrives!
Cheers,
Max
