Very new to this whole thing. It's fun though. Really it's for my 14 yr old son. He bought everything to build his first plane last year for his birthday. Basically got it built, test flight, crash, broken. Discouraged and lost interest.
Well, quarantine has revived old projects. I decided to simplify and we've built a simple airboat using the airplane stuff we have. Figured one servo and limiting motion to 2 dimensions would increase chances of success. But we've still run into problems.
We used screws that were too long to mount the motor and burnt it and the ESC up. So we bought new ones. Once they finally arrived, realized I got a motor that goes the wrong direction. So, we just turned around our mount and now we have a pusher, which works fine for an airboat anyways. But now after the motor runs for a few seconds at most, it gives us some beeps and shuts down. Pull the throttle to zero and it will go again. But, with the same results. We tried calibrating and that seemed to work fine, but didn't fix the problem.
Here's what we have:
Flysky i6 Controller
EMAX 12A BLHeli Electronic Speed Controller
EMAX MT1806 2280kV Brushless Motor (CW Thread)
Tattu 14.8V 850mAh 4S 45C LiPo Battery Pack
Any suggestions?
