Wayne has kindly offered to build this unit for us. Please let me know what you think. George. Note: forwarded message attached. Wayne has kindly offered to...
George, My only comment would be to have the ‘on’ time adjustable in some way to allow the simulation of longer climb times on the battery performance. ...
It sounds very useful. It would be interesting to see how the figures compare when the battery is charged under different conditions and also what happens...
Looks good Paul and my self made a rig but had to turn it on and off by hand and read off the voltage and current form the meters so we only ever got and ...
Hi Guys, Just went down for some practice today. Noticed the Lea was tucking under and rolling in on turns. Thought that I may have got a bit of differential...
ouch, hope the pleti is ok, unfortunately I think we are only going to see more of these fires in the forthcoming year with the even lower IR cells on their...

Just got two Surprise 14 delivered this afternoon. They look very nice. I examined the wing on my last crashed Surprise 11 and I think a hole in the front...
Mike, I used this ESC all last year on the 220/30 in the Lea. I haven’t changed any settings, and flew it in the S-13 the week before last. I ran the motor...
Mark, This sounds the same as happened to me with the 3 or 4 controllers I had problems with. My controllers where all new though and we assumed it was due to...
Can I stick my nose into this discussion on ESC failures as I spent my working life in power electronics and ripple current in capacitors is major factor to be...
Wayne, You are certainly correct with what you write on the ESR of the capacitors used for controllers. They are probably the biggest single cause of...
All, Thanks for all the replies. Bruce is right, caps are cheaper than ESCs. The last time I dented some caps on and ESC (funnily enough when my other Lea wing...
Hi Mark Sorry to hear about the loss - I have found that with my HM195, supergluing the caps together and to the power leads and surrounding shrink stopped the...

Its an interesting line of conversation here. I have just had a shipment of the new Pilot controllers from fabrice at electronic model ( not up to the amps you...
I agree that the capacitors on these controllers are a pain. Always in the way and making the controller longer than it needs to be. When I knocked off the...
A word of warning on the Electronicmodel controllers. My personal experience with them has been very bad. I also found that Fabrice does not like sorting out...
Mike, I think the reason you were told moving the caps is a bad idea is because of the inductance of the cap.leads. If you put them 30mm away then each lead...
I don't know where his present controllers come from, but I bought a Flash 105 from him quite some time ago. He first sent it to Switzerland, but it eventually...
Wim, you are right, the previous ones were Jeti OEM, so Fabrice had to send them back to the CZ for repair and who knows what the contract agreement was. He...
Mark, Are you using timing mode 3 and freq mode 1? The 220/30 should pull similar currents to the 5L. The no load rpm/v to the prop is 750 for the 220/30 and...

I don't bother, but depending on the circumstances of the incident I'd check the motor over myself. I'd probably just check the bearings plus make sure the...
Same here. Just checked the impedance of each winding, stripped the gearbox and removed the rotor. Dave, I'm using 11deg and 16kHz for the 220/30. Mark. ... ...
Is there now enough concensus within the group for someone to post general recommendations upon maintaining speed controllers? I am unsure whether and when...
Mark, I use 15 or 20 deg for the timing and 8kHz but this shouldn't make that much difference. I used the 17 x18 red or green blades on +7 deg but even if you...
