[NSRCA-discussion] E-deadstick, trouble-shooting.

[colin chariandy]

Hey guys...I was out practicing tonight when the motor lost all power in the 
first upline of the M. Landed the plane deadstick and could find nothing 
diconnected so I thought the battery was somehow open circuit. Plugged in 
another batt and the controller armed and ran the motor normally. Re-installed 
the previous batt and again all was OK.  I flew the plane on the same battery 
the failure occured with and there were no re-occurences but I was way too 
uncomfortable to really concentrate.

It was 34C when I took off....the hottest I have ever flown that plane and I did 
have the controller velcroed in place in the chin with foam under it to prevent 
movement....not the coolest set-up.

The plane is a Xigris, motor is the 30-10 evo and a Jeti 90 speed controller, JR 
Rx.

Any trouble shooting advice? Do the Jetis have a thermal shut down?

I did change the speed controller mounting to use the three screws instead of 
velcro.
