about 16sessions, from charged till the helli wouldn't lift anymore

during those sessions, i got a lot of power consistantly untill the voltage dropped below a certain point then i got a 1/2 second power loss but it continued to hover. If the voltage drops a lot then my ESC shuts off power to the motor and that's my signal to go back inside and charge. I get about 9-10 mins consistantly.

in the last session before i used the piranah i noticed a smell like melting plastic and i found that my ESC and motor were verry hot [i mean scalding] other than that it flew normally.

I have chashed from about a 3' hover and all I suffered was a tailboom strike and i was back in hover in less than a minute. I have also tipped it over [greening my m/r blades] when on my front lawn because my training wheeles caught the ground.

For a motor I am using a Peak Racing Jaguar [$33 canadian] and for a ESC I am using a Robbe RSC 830 uP BEC

I have 1 8-cell 9.6V 3000mAh pack that was assembled by my hobby guy.

I am using [verry poor] taymina cnectors.

Usually my pack never got that warm but only on that last flight before using the Piranah charger did my ESC get too hot to touch.

Hope that helps, thanks for all the help!
