I built an old fogey, 1300kv 24g motor, 8x3.8 prop, 20a red brick, and a 1000mah 3s turnigy. mid flight (a nice flight, I might add. I just love this plane) the motor stopped spinning, made a loud squeak, and started again. I glided it down not knowing what happened. I saw no damage, but when I went to fly again the motor wasn't spinning, it just makes a buz/squeak,turns half a rotation one way, then the other and then stops. I took it inside, and every thing magically started working.
today, I went to fly again and had another nice flight, and a nice landing. I went to take it off again, and same problem. buz/squeak, turns slowly and jittery then stops. this time going inside and disassembling didn't fix it.
I tried it with another battery,and thats not the issue, so what is? I noticed that after a long(ish) flight the motor is a little to hot to touch for more then a second, and the esc is warm. could somthing have burnt out? oh, I forgot to mention that the servos still work perfectly so I am assuming it has nothing to do with the transmitter/recever (9xv2).
any ideas are appreciated.
