Great video, thanks for sharing tommybear.
I'm assuming that the flight controller requires little to no movement in order to arm... every flight controller I've worked with in the past on my 3D helis require a certain amount of time during startup, with no movement at all, in order to arm...
I traveled to Spain earlier this month with my P3P in the DJI backpack and was not asked a single question on the way there or on the way back.
All batteries should be stored in the backpack or carry on, not inside checked baggage. Also make sure they're not fully charged.
In order to avoid...
This has happened to me as well... Except about a mile away. The signal didn't get choppy or poor, it just disconnected. After about 5 seconds, I started to panic. I tried repositioning the antennas for a better signal, but that had no effect. Restarting the app fixed the issue.... I've logged...
A picture would help a lot.
The truth is that no one can really know for sure whether it will work good as new forever or not. Is that a risk you are willing to take? A damaged LiPo should be treated with caution. It may appear to be fine, but it may also be just a matter of time before the...
I'm surprised by the battery temps you were seeing. Are you sure that the temp didn't exceed 48°C when you drained it down to 15%? My two P3 LiPo's are at 48°C after a break in flight down to 50%. I would expect it to be much warmer if you drain it all the way down to nothing.
Being how quick it is to manufacture parts like the shell, I can't help but wonder what the hold up is.... I have a feeling the delay is due to changes in the design/manufacturing process.
Thanks for joining the debate! :) I can't help but see this as being a perfect example to support the break in theory. A LiPo that failed with over 10 cycles should not be considered defective, instead, operating conditions should be considered. How warm was the outside air temp during the first...
That's about the best climate to be in when you're cycling your new LiPo. I can see how cool enough outside air temps could reduce the effects of ignoring the break in period, but I still do not suggest it.
That's great to hear that you got it replaced. Good luck with your new one!
This goes to show just how hard it can be to spot an unhealthy LiPo and identify the problem.
How does Tesla's car battery have anything to do with our RC LiPo's? Oscilloscope batteries, LiFePO4 batteries, etc. are completely different than an RC LiPo that's capable of high discharge rates. Tesla's battery uses a few thousand Panasonic 18650's LiPo's, which should be considered one of...
Keep reading manuals.... Real world experience will always prove to be a superior understanding. Referencing nothing but manuals only shows your lack of experience with RC LiPo's.
