Hot Motors

[Phantom2USA]

Flew my P2V+ today in the back yard while the P3P is en route to Cerritos, CA. DJI for hairline crack diagnose's/repair.. nothing much, just about 100 ft up & not far out.
When I got it down & felt the motors, WOW, talk about hot.. & I mean hot, About 88-90 today & quite humid here in my area of Michigan.. Will head out later when the sun goes down & see if I get similar results.. oh yeah, the video was cutting out every 15 seconds for like a second or two, like on a timer, first ever for that.

Heat equals work.

Do motors spin freely?

Do you have added equipment increasing weight?

I got nothing else.

Yeah, good answer.. no extra stuff except CF gimbal guard..
wondering if I'll do the bearing swap someday as it has a very very slight squeal on throttle up, very slight, but ALL motors were cooking that's why I think it's ambient temp related..

Well. I fly my P2 NV (no camera/gimbal) here in Fla with similar ambient temps frequently and never are they too hot to touch.
All 4 being similar temp is ponderous.
