first few flights 130x

[Guiwee]

Coupla quick questions for you guys
1.Ran it today on full pack until (evc) lost power and descended..blinking blue light.
it was awfully warm battery and motor seemed burnable..lol..very hot tho!!
2. Is there a motor I can use thats slightly better and just plug and play..
dont know how to solder and have no wish to learn.
3. Slight tail drift is that a servo rod adjustment like mcpx or something to do with the
gyro?

How long was your flight?

I had a slight drift that went away after I installed a MCPX canopy grommet that I cut in half and placed on tail pitch slider were the servo link hooks to ball and on pitch slider ball (you have to remove the small pin on pitch slider) It made my tail a lot tighter and no more drift.

you need to cal center sticks for drift with sub trim as doubleCH's video at the top of the forum. sounds like you ran it to LVC. have to test your batteries and charger.

where in mi are u...we fly at 23m&94 at airfield. i can help ya if you r in area? everyone in our club runs a 130 indoors all winter. most run some serious stuff out there in the summer!

cheers mate

some heat is gonna be normal, I wouldnt run a pack to low voltage cutoff though, set your timer on radio as recommended. I have never scanned temps on my helis, but with finger check seems heat level does calm down a bit as you get some runs on the motor, and lube it from time to time.....

motors get hot! more so when you work em like a dog! it doesn't bother em.
i would stay away from lube for some time...it will wash the stock grease out quick
