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

[colin chariandy]

Got it....I'll add a path for air around the controller.

Thanks
Colin.

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.
