Please help!!!!!!!!

[Dave24]

I just got the Radian RTF. I flew it, and then after I threw for the fifth time it started to cog.
No motor grit (i looked and it spun fine by hand)
Is it low voltage?????
Please help me!!

Check the connections between the ESC and the motor, a bullet connector may have become loose, or a solder joint may have broken.

Did you recharge the battery?

 

[Dave24]

Yes

It is completely recharged.

 

[Dave24]

[Christopher14]

Did you check the connectors?

 

[Dave24]

Hi Dave,
From your description I think what is going on is "single phasing" of the motor. This occurs when the motor looses power to one of the leads. There are a number of things that can cause this but since you flew the plane 4 times without issue my guess would be that a solder joint has failed. It could be on the ESC, the connectors or at the motor its self.
So you have 2 options; because it is a new model you can return it and have the power system repaired or replaced under warranty or try to repair it yourself. Just bare in mind that if you do it yourself your warranty will be over. WJ.

Its all good now some how it fixed itself....

 

[whiskeyjack]

Dave no it didn't, that problem unless found will cost you the model. Just say in' WJ.

Nothing is wrong it just happens when it gets cold....
I was flying at about -2 degrees

 

[Dave24]
