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

[Verne Koester]

I'm pretty sure Colin is within a couple hundred miles from Detroit. We've
been at the mid-90's for the last couple of days. I flew in it on Tuesday
and checked my batteries, controller, and motor after one of the flights
(Masters schedule). Everything was around 130F which seemed pretty
acceptable to me considering the ambient temp. I also have a Xigris with a
Hacker C50-14XL Comp and controller with TP G6 25C 5000 batteries. 

I didn't put the heat gun on me, but I was probably running about the
same.....

Wow!  34C converts to 93.2F.  What part of Canada was this in?

I agree with Keith.  I run my Jeti 90 on standoffs, using the three  
mounting holes.  Never had a problem, even at Andersonville, GA last  
weekend, where the temperatures were in the upper 90sF.
