Ah, that's France for you. Mainland Europe closes in August, and that's that []

Rather disappointing about the esc as well.

Hi!
I use the Cyclon F3A too and I had the same problem as yours last month... but my motor runs only 4min :-(

I send back my controler to Electronicmodel and he answered me that the timing I used were 30° and it should be 15°.
can you tell me which timing did you used?


Jérôme... from France... and I agree, Europe stops working in august ;-)

A friend of mine use the Cyclon 160, nearly simular to the F3A. It works well on a Jeti 90Adv ESC on 10S LiPo.

Hi!
The new ESC I got (Pilot 120) works very well.
I had some radiointerferences (HF goes through the wire from the ESC to the battery). So I placed a ring just between the battery and the ESC and the interferences goes away
