I guess the point of all this back and forth banter is that one had better be a decent mechanic regardless of your choice in flavors. Alcohol, gasoline, electrons or rubber bands still need a pretty tight screw in front of the controls
Hi,
Not really, but understanding what you are dealing with is the key with all of them.
E power systems need a good install and a little ,very little, maintenance on the electrical side - cleaning.
80 to 90% of these burn out issues are to do with connectors and or soldering.
People are still using 30 to 50A connectors in 80 to 100A load situations. This is like having 10 pin hole leaks in your gas tubing with the gas going on the exhaust and on the electrics.
They justify these by saying ' I've never had a problem' in 100's of flights.
An under spec'd install is upping the loads on everything.
With IC it is a different story.
2 stroke is not so bad and nor is gas ,normally 2S as well, but knowledge is req'd.
With a YS it is a whole other story.
Just imagine a 750cc YS stuck between your legs in a motorcycle frame. If you think that would work well for a long time well I just wish you luck with it.
You would need a mechanic on the bike and a trash collector following it to pick up the pieces.
