Can someone please tell me what is the purpose of this contraption on the ESC battery cable shipped with the 8s hobbywing ESC's? This is a bullet connector with a resistor connected in parallel. As a EE I can tell you that does absolutely nothing except reduce sparking when you disconnect the bullet connector. Since this is another point of potential failure I cut it out and resoldered the EC5 connector.1 Photo

Welp, the maiden didn't go well. She went screaming down the runway, pulled back on the elevator, wouldn't rotate, more elevator until full up, finally rotated and pops up. I relax the elevator a bit so that she won't go high alpha after take off, and when I did she slammed back down to the runway (grass) and flipped over. Oh well, repair and try again.3 Photos
