| Temperatures...Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted on here---too long, I need to get my Corona up & going again. I borrowed electronics off my Corona & put on other heli----was reading some threads on here---Bret is right though, the Hacker C40-12T is hard to beat, concerning Corona. As I remember, the temp of the motor was usually between 120-140 (8-cell GP3600 NiMH)---& the matching Hacker ESC, it usually was between 112-120...something. But, I also noticed that the current outdoor temp had great impact determining the high-peaks of temp, makes sense. Maybe the fan wasn't as effective in hot weather.
I did use that small brushless fan on motor though--which if you want fan, don't waste money at vendors--get it at Radio Shack for about $12.00.
For Temp I had the on-board guage & also a Temp gun that I pointed at it once landed---I like the on-board guage because one of the things it does is compute the highest temp reached while in air--& was fairly accurate (within about 5 degrees of what gun would read).
Hope this helped a little, later, Steve. |
. This is an original LMH 100 converted to electric.
Safety glasses required, people! 
I dont get why poeple are still reccomending it for the corona. It runs hot, even with a whomping big coolingfin on it. Its to small to get rid of the heat, and basicly even the stock canopy is tomuch for it to fly in the summer. Dont even bother with heavy upgrades or a scale body.
