MX400Pro flight recorder data
I thought my MX400 Pro motor was getting way to hot so I
don't fly it alot. But I got a Medusa 'Oracle' flight data recorder and checked it out with that. Here's a copy of the read out. Note the motor is turning 27000 rpm. The rotor head is turning about 2300 rpm. In a steady hover its only drawing 12 and 1/2 amps. Not shown on graph is that its consuming 133 watts. The motor temp went to 130* and was starting to level off till I landed. Then the heat went up because there was no air blowing down on it. The heli is kind of heavy with a 2200 mah lipo and also an FMA co-pilot on board. The co-pilot is awesome by the way.... When I touch the motor with my fingers, it felt really hot... but I guess its not all that hot after all. So, maybe I'll fly it a little more. PS...the formula 3 scale is actually the head speed. ab |
