Default RE: EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC FLIGHT

aeajr: I am interested in learning more about the electric power systems, and how all the components are connected. If I have an AXI 2204-54 brushless motor that has the three wires for connections, just what are the polarity identifications for + and -, and why are there three wires going to the ESC? I have delt with small two wire motors which had only the + and - connections. The second question is about changing motor rotation. I am aware of reversing the + and - wires, but the extra wire confuses me. Would appreciate your help in clearing up my confusion.
