Default RE: Castle Ice HV 80 II

The first day of flying (for the displayed log) it was cool outside, starting at 26F and rising to about 42F later.

However, yesterday it was 64F for the last few flights and the same component temps were observed. Maybe when it's 85F I'll start to notice some difference. The model does, however, have very good ventilation, with the spinner nose lopped off and an air scoop for the motor, and the ESC and batteries with very good airflow over them.

I love the power of this motor so if necessary I will get a 120HV when they become available.

I am light years behind you as far a log keeping but starting to appreciate the value of it. But I have always kept track of mAh's put back into the batteries and I always check the individual cell IRs as this is the easiest way to spot a battery that is going bad.
