Doh 
I just export to a file and copy/paste to excel. Multiply the values by 18 divide by 255 gives you the voltage. HTH Nigel |

So I was wondering if anyone have any suggestions regarding software to plot the battery curves? I Use a HRPoly-X, take a look here for some of the outputs. Cheers Nigel |

| Check the location of the RX ariel; it should be between the skids. This is one of the causes of radio interference.

| Totally agree with Clive; the fix is not changing the ESC but buy a separate BEC with at least 3A rating. What RX are you using with your Spektrum? If it is a 6100 then defo use a separate BEC.

What gyro are you using? If you can see full pitch on the tail blades then your problem could be the belt slipping. Do you have a CNC tail? Nigel |
