jzrf6c -> RE: durafly se5a power drain (8/29/2012 2:11 PM) Try reprogramming the controller. When you do, remember to set the throttle trim down. Also, if you have another ESC give it a try (swap them). It could be the motor. If it gets hot or in a crash it can be damaged. If you get the same results with a different (same specs) ESC I'd say your motor is bad.

Gohmer -> RE: durafly se5a power drain (8/29/2012 10:12 PM) What is the voltage reading at the battery connectors after charging? Sounds like a charger problem to me.

bondspyguy -> RE: durafly se5a power drain (8/29/2012 10:15 PM) They all show 11.4v fully charged then drain to around 9 within a minute

Gohmer -> RE: durafly se5a power drain (8/29/2012 10:32 PM) Should show 12.6 V fully charged. What charger are you using?

bondspyguy -> RE: durafly se5a power drain (8/29/2012 11:11 PM) Hi thanks for the help I am using the turnigy accucel 6 and I balance charge them each time

Gohmer -> RE: durafly se5a power drain (8/29/2012 11:26 PM) I'm not familiar with that one. Sounds like it's set in a storage mode. You need to get it set somehow so it charges to 12.6v. That's your flight time problem.
