Default RE: EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC FLIGHT

Hi, Ed.

What's your position on cooling brushless motors/esc's/lipo batteries?

I'm putting together a 50% electric version of Laddie Mikulasko's Arrow, powered by an Astro 020 w/esc and a 1200 mAh LiPo. Should I be concerned about cooling any of the components? I hate to cut holes in this thing and put scoops on it, as it will be used mostly in the water. I can do it if I have to, but I'll have nightmares about what will happen if it ends up inverted on the lake.

Regards and thanks for a great thread.
