Hi,
Is it OK to run through an entire battery on the ground to test everything and check run-length? I know that you cannot run full throttle continuously (even in the air)... I would just do half throttle.

I was just thinking about the fact that the prop cannot unload on the ground... so would that cause overheating or damage?

I was thinking of leaving off the cowl as well, so everything will have plenty of exposure to air flow.

The set-up I want to test is a Park 480 (1020 Kv), 2100mah 3 cell LiPo, and APC 11x5.5 E-prop. ESC/BEC is an Align RCE-BL35X (from a heli, but set to airplane mode).

Thanks
