Castle Creation Phoenix 85HV robustness
For those Phoenix 85HV users, how long your ESC have been used?
Mine only last 291 flights, then blew the capacitors in flight, resulted to dead-stick landing. The ESC never crashed, never over current. My typical peak current was ~72 Amp, temperature of ESC after one Master sequence was ~135F. Same settings since last year, failed in a routine practise flight.
This is the third Phoenix 85HV failed in my club. The other two had ~200 flights, same condition....... never crash or over current. Failed during routine practise with no reason. However, the other pattern flyer in my club had ~500 flights w/o any issue. All of us were using the same settings. So not sure what's the root of cause. Any ideas? Thanks!
