Hi,
I'm new to the rc hobby and would like a little help. I've recently built a mini arrow but using parts sourced locally in Australia. I look it out for a maiden flight the other day any everything went well. It was a bit wobbly but climbed ok, but then with a stream of smoke all power was gone. The silver lining is the it controlled quite well and I was able to glide it nicely to the ground. Below is a picture of the damage i found. The motor wires had got hot and melted/burned the insulation off. I assume the motor drew more current that it could handle?
I am using a motor that is (i think) equivalent to the recommended A power pack. Would the larger F power pack motor fair better? Could this be caused by something else? ESC (Emax 20A), propeller, weight (~350g), my flying technique or maybe some calibration that I didn't complete?
Thanks
