Hello everyone,
I built an FT Flyer, and I really like it, but sometimes the motor suddenly shuts down....
When this happens, I can get the motor working again by fully going back on the throttle and then giving it some throttle again. When it happens, there is this weird sound: PHIEW....
I crashed a few times because of this, and I just broke a prop as well. I now only have 2 props left.
I have to say that I connected the wires using some Male-Female connectors and tape. I didn't solder them. However, I don't think the problem is with the wires, for I can't imagine that they will disconnect or something. I did try to run the motor and then pull one of the wires out. There was some weird sound, but it was different.
Does anybody have any clue of what's happening with my FT Flyer?? I want to fly it again
Is it the ESC? Or the motor itself?
Components I'm using:
Turnigy 1380 kv park300 brushless outrunner (recommended)
Turnigy Plush 18 amp ESC (recommended)
Turnigy 500mah 3S batteries (recommended)
8x4 prop (recommended0
Spektrum AR400 receiver
Spektrum DX6i Transmitter
By the way, the control surfaces ALWAYS keep working when the motor dies, so the problem is probably not with the radio system.
