was at pemac today watching a sukhoi F35 twin 70 EDF thrust vectoring unit ripping through the sky when all of a sudden it went deadstick . it flew on a downward straight path for about 200mteres before it hit the ground . inspecting the wreckage with the owner we found the 6s 5000 mah battery 4mm bullet had de soldered and come off in flight .
the owner says that it was pulling around 130 amps on 6s the esc had its own bec .
and this is the 2nd time it's happened to him . no shit !
anything over 70 amps and i think a seperate bec would be a very good idea . perhaps 6mm bullet plugs and 10 aw wire too .
i use deans t connectors , so i normally cut the bullets off and solder deans t connectors on . which brings me to the next point , if your using batteries as they come ' i'd be putting a little extra solder of my own on the plugs . a lot of batteries have minimal solder applied to the plugs at factory .
just wanted to point out that i seen it with my own eyes . the solder melted away .
