Terence Lynock Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 0For cooling ESC's pop into the local computer repair shop and ask if they have any old finned heat sinks, they usually have plenty of the things laying around, cut the shrink wrap away from over the heat sink plate and put a good dab of white heat sink paste onto it then a lump of the computer heat sink. Strap it down with a cable tie and your done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Terence It actually had a finned hatsink (I use them on all my bigger models) but it still over heated. I am probably running the ESC right up to its limit and I also suspect I had put the fins on the wrong (non Mosfet) side. The next mod is to use a 40A ESC with the original heatsinks replaced by finned ones mounted directly on the components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Stokes Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This was my solution a 50x50mm fan from Maplins set over the ESC The yellow line is the control rod to the rudder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 personally I rather like that throaty rumble from the edf lends an air of authenticity to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 With the rather better weather I though I had better get the V-1 down from the wall only to find that one cell of its 1800mAh 3s had failed showing virtually no volts. Did eventually get it up to 3.7 but it held no significant charge and it was back down again after a couple of hours. Then I discovered the battery itself was an odd shape that is no longer available so the battery compartment had to modified to accept a narrower but thicker battery. An edited video of the first flight with the new battery shape but as the CofG was unchanged I did not expect any problems. For a lightweight it actually handles a bit of wind quite well.

Lorenz Mueller Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Now that it flies so well - any chance you could change the spelling to the correct Fieseler? Hurts the eyes like this Lorenz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Lorenz It is a quirk of the two languages. In the case of English, the phonetic spelling puts the "e" first. In German it is the "ie" that gives the same sound. Of course in the case of "ei" the logic is reversed, as in the case of "Ei" for Egg, which we know (in the UK) as "i". There are numerous issues such as this such as Audi, the English saw a different sound to the Germans, with the Au sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
