The speed controller is in the nose right by a cooling hole in the 'chin' of the plane, a FMS Predator 40A ESC Today (10 degC) is seemed particularly sluggish compared to how I remember it. The (Mode 2) throttle is north/south on the left stick (DX6) and moving it up from zero prop movement to full revs for take off seems to be getting sluggish but it does ramp up to max and off you go, flying is on stick vertical (I'm a leaner!). Noticed on the last few take-offs that the speed control is changing. So, that is the plane and I can actually fly it now solo so has been great. (Normal operation resumes after the amplifier cools down.FMS Kingfisher trainer, new this year, flown about 2.5 hours in sessions of about 4 mins, 3S batteries as per instructions.įlies a dream, nose crashed about 5 times, one or two quite heavy, taken the undercarriage clean off.

Wiring routed in a way that is prone to the effects of noise Worn or damaged noise killer condenser on the motor side (ZEROV, ZEROVEX, RAPIDA PRO Series)Ģ.The top speed is slow. Some characters on the LED digital display are broken and difficult to read. The amplifier is within the normal temperature range, but power sometimes turns off when running, or the motor sometimes stops. The amplifier becomes very hot even without running and the motor continues to run (full open) regardless of whether power is on or off. The battery connector becomes extremely hot and connector resin (coupler) becomes deformed.

(Normal operation resumes after the amplifier cools down.) The amplifier becomes extremely hot after several minutes running and running sometime stops. Faulty operation of the servo to the left or right during sudden acceleration. The amplifier turns on and the servo works, but the motor does not start. (No amplifier response when the transmitter is operated.) Amplifier turns on, but the motor does not start and the servo does not move. Acceleration is dull or there is a lag during acceleration. The top speed is extremely slow or there is no forward movement at all.
