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

[Verne Koester]

Yes. My controller is mounted immediately behind the motor and in front of
the batteries. Air coming in the chin cowl flows over the controller and
batteries and then goes back out the exit which is two, 7" X 1" exit holes
in the bottom of the fuse right behind the wing tube. I also have two small
openings in my cheek cowls that are hopefully feeding the fan in the motor.
Some of the air from those is probably hitting the controller and batteries
as well.

Mississauga, Ontario.....beat a record high since the 50's.

 

Do you guys allow some air to flow from the chin, around the speed
controller area back into the fuse?

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.

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.
