Ben M Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I have read several publications talking about the two different versions of the ALIGN 450L Dominator where the S3 version seems to be very good and the S6 is extra powerful. Guided by this information I made the mistake of buying the S3 version. I want to share it hoping I save some frustrations and money to somebody else. After few flights with the S3 version where I only tried to keep the helicopter hovering 1 metre high I started to have problems. The motor stopped in the air at the same time that it made a strange noise (pitched whine). It happened intermittently in several flights until the day that the motor got burned. My conclusion after a thorough study is that the problem was that the S3 version’s motor draws too much current and the components that provide that current (ESC and battery) cannot support it. If you want to know more about this issue then you will have to read the long version of this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
