Everette,

I guess I am confused (and doubtful) about the data I am getting, which does not seem to correlate with the observed effects.

Which is to say, if I'm pushing it that hard - on the ragged edge of smoking it - why is NOTHING getting anywhere near hot? I read about guys routinely running ESCs around 140-180 degrees, and this one has thus far registered a peak of 109 degrees and averages way below that! Similar findings with the motor and batteries... There seems to be a bit of anomaly with the data.

One bit of 'clean' data I will manage to get is actual mAh comsumption when I recharge the batteries. I made it a point on the last few flights with various props to take off, fly the sequence and then land promptly as if flying a contest round, so that data will be good.

I am inching my way toward getting it right and plan to record 3 good flights next time with 5hz data sampling with the 3 different props, Pt 20x12 and 20x13, and the Falcon 20x13.

Below is a log from the first day of flying with the Pletty (not from yesterday) to give some idea. Poor throttle management, but at least it shows the peaks.
