Hi guys!


Im having a bit of problem with my HDX, I've measured the current at spin up till hovering and its about 30amps, too mutch for the power it produces I think..

The setup:
HYPERION Z-3025 10 TURN 815 KV
4s 3200mah 15/25C lipo
50A ESC

I use a 24teeth pinion with stock gear, and the HS is near 3000 as far I can hear/calculate, the RTF weight is 1,7kg.

Is this to mutch, 30Amps at hovering? The motor is getting hot (70degrees C) during a flight of 4min with some punchouts and short tictocs (only a few).

I'd like to compare it with other measurements.

Oscar.

Here is a fairly typical Eagletree log of my HDX500.

You should be hovering at around 16amps.
