I just went with the 10A as my feeling was there was something amiss with the BEC in my ESC. Waaay too many Frame Losses. And most Frame Losses are caused by voltage drops. And those are caused by a few servos overloading the circuit. I don't think the internal BEC is a "switched" one either. By going with the external switched BEC, (separate unit), things are much more safer with the FLs only 20 or less.

Fly low, fly fast, turn left -
And I do agree with Evan about going bigger. Why not? They are not that much more expensive. Weight is minimal. More power is piece of mind.Fly low, fly fast, turn leftComment

Thanks guys…all good data/information.
Good precaution about exercising the gear without having a lot of other controls moving about during the gear extend/retract action.
We’ve had a week of strong wind. I’ve been grounded this whole week. UGH!
The wind finally let up this afternoon (06/12)! Got in 10 flights. Began working on getting into the habit of letting the gear complete its cycle alone with minimal other servo action. I can see this is a good habit to develop for any large (large gear servo) and multi-servo bird.

Loving this bird! 27 flights and over 3 and a half hours airborne. Using Hoovo 6S 5200's I'm getting on average around 7:30 with some left in the 'tank' for a go-around. Custom graphics by Callie, going to do some weathering eventually.
Just incorporated gear door droop after motor shut down, flap droop and elevator droop. Nice little scale details.

Tried the gun sound system up in the air today, just not loud enough with the 2" speaker I installed at the front. Would probably be better with larger air exit holes but not prepared to create those so I have taken it out and will use it in my upscalled Magnatilla/Eindecker when I get around to building it over the next winterComment
