Hello,
This is my first post so here it goes!
I scratch built the FT Mini Alpha and Charlie but am experiencing a loss of power after about a minute of flying. The motor is very hot to touch and the ESC also feels warm. Is this what is known as a brown out? It's not a transmitter problem because I can hold the plane on high throttle and duplicate the problem. I am using two motors, and batteries purchased from FT. Both planes are acting the same way.
Thank you all for any help you can offer. Love what Flite Test has done for this hobby. Especially for a novice like myself!
List of electronics include:
BLHeli Series 12amp ESC(XT-30)
EMAX Motor MT2204 KV2300
(XT-30)800mAh 3s 20c Lipo Battery
ES9051 (4.3g) Plastics Digital Servo (2)
AR500 Receiver
DX5e Transmitter
