Default RE: Keeping things cool

Don't forget that heat generated in an electric setup represents inefficiency and waste. Always make sure that motor & ESC are correctly rated (I tend to over-rate things by at least 30% to be on the safe side) and are not being forced into overload by being over-propped. Electric systems should not run overly hot even without forced cooling, so be careful that you are not masking a problem and trying to correct it with over the top cooling.
