Thanks Evan. Is 116.57A static ground test or in-flight?
Not sure is my stock ESC having issue (since 0 degrees or 15 degrees timing gives same 145A draw) that is drawing so high current. unless it's normal for static to draw 145A and in-flight will reduce by 20%?

I don't believe the ESC can force the motor to draw more current than it is capable of. I'd be inclined to look to the motor as the cause of your problem.

Static ground all stock, never checked the ESC settings even.

Amps- 116.57
Watts- 2401.3
Thrust- 3050g on a full charge slightly settled

After my 6s EF's third flight the connector is so hot it melted the foam and the battery wires are very very hot. I used a clampmeter to do ground static amps test and it's 145A. I understand that static is higher than in-flight amps but my other 90mm EDF is only drawing static 120A. I changed the motor timing to 0 degrees and I still get the same 145A. Did anyone do a ground amps test on your 6s EF? Thanks.

I'm very surprised they agreed to accept a battery return.

So I sent the admiral 4s 6000 MaH batteries back to MRC they agreed to refund money. As suggested I purchased 2 SMC 4s 5300 MaH batteries Now these are a little slimmer (allow for future swelling) and about 3/4 to 1 inch shorter so they have a bit of wiggle room in the battery bay The best part is they are 5 ounces lighter each, WOW 5 ounces each saving me 10 ounces in total.. Now the plane more or less balances without extra weight...Incidentally MRC changed their web page to recommend the admiral 5000 MaH batteries...instead of the 6000's

I went to Home Depot today and got this paint mixed up from a scan off the top of one of the canards. Got home and did the finger "dab test" on the wing root area and it looked like a perfect match. Certainly good enough to cover my mods on the bottom of the fuse and to fix any hanger rash in the future.

Hi everyone, does anyone know when the typhoon will be available again for delivery into the UK?

thanks Tom.

Yes I understand I did not want to paint it like the black jack scheme either... I think its a good compromise and good visibility better than all grey.

I like the scheme / livery , but something just not sitting right with this one , I think it would definitely suit a “black” fuzz and wings . I’m kinda glad in some way I didn’t order these graphics frpm
callie now . As I had no intention of painting it black

[Evan D]

Congrats!

This John didn't.. We got strong winds and thunderstorms.

Maybe Tuesday. If not, mid May as I'm off to Australia and NZ for 6 weeks, leaving Friday.

Finally got it in the air today. Wow, does it ever land nicely. That's it for me until mid May.

[kallend]

John, did you get to fly yours?

Decked it out in RAF Demo team livery Callie Graphics did a good job. Still waiting on a couple of RAF roundels to cover Spanish ones See the battery bay No wiggle room

Seems my changes have fixed the roll issue.
