Default RE: WALKERA 37


ORIGINAL: Heliwannabe

I put the training wheels on this afternoon and must have an hour or so hovering practice and so far so good (two battery discharges). Everything is staying nice and cool with the 11T. Wonder if it is the throttle/pitch adjustment. Mine lifts off with with pretty high head speed but is quiet and smooth. After running 10 minutes the motor housing is just warm and the battery is barely above room temp. The motor mounting plate is somewhat hotter but I can easily keep my finger on it. I think I will stay with this setup for now and get in some more practice.

What is your throttle adjusted to? Mine is set for linear. I set my pitch and pitch throw so that the aircraft just starts to lift off at 1/2 throttle.
