    Current feeling on U7 and equivalent KDE?

    Yep, I am biased toward KDE. But with the logging feature of the castle esc's. Just make sure you have PLENTY of headroom with what ever esc you choose. My minimum is at least double of max motor current with whatever prop size.

    Current feeling on U7 and equivalent KDE?

    Nothing wrong with the U7s. Not my first choice. I probably look at the HV castle series. The sync issues are the problem when using anything other then the T80's.

    Current feeling on U7 and equivalent KDE?

    The only problem I have with 18.5'' props is your already be at the edge of max with the 80 amp esc's at 150 degree operating temp with 18x6'' props. Way to close for me. I wouldn't feel comfortable with anything less then 100-120 amp escs. On a 90 degree day in direct sun they will be scorching.

    Momentary Power Surge HC1100

    Never used it on the conductor. just a little around the insulator so the plug boots wouldn't stick to the plugs.:)

    Momentary Power Surge HC1100

    I would imagine it can't be good at all coating the connector surface. I've only used the stuff on spark plug boots.

    Momentary Power Surge HC1100

    I would definitely remove it. Dielectric grease? Neither, looking at flir and other uses and waiting for the regs to be finalized. I hold a land/sea single engine ticket and thought about filing for the 333. But have to many other pressing issues like getting our house sold, and getting out of...

    How often to you clean the bullets in the xt connectors? They get oxidation over time with just current flowing through them. Your in the same climate as me and I have been cleaning mine every 5 hours or so and am always amazed at how dirty they are. Qtips with electronics cleaner.

    GPS mast length?

    I'm surprised they don't have the barometer better isolated from the factory.

    Momentary Power Surge HC1100

    That's because the FC is throttling up for a sec in response to the motors shutting off. Check and make sure there is no intermittent connection loss at the FC and the receiver. You do have the FC connected directly to the buss bar now? You would be able to feel a bearing going bad, spin all...

    GPS mast length?

    If you have the puck to low you run the chance of magnetic interference with the compass. I mounted mine just high enough to not pick up any. Plus never liked the idea of the puck stuck up like a flag pole above spinning props.:)

    Momentary Power Surge HC1100

    John, I would look at wiring between batts and pdb. All esc's are cutting out at the same time, so I would rule out any single one. Have you checked the IR on those multistars? Maybe have a cell going bad. Did you see voltage drops on telemetry or A2 log files? Are the lipo's tied together, or...

    A2 with DJI D-Bus adapter or Futaba S-BUS adapter?

    Your going to want to connect it using S-bus. You will have no issues using one wire connection. I would suggest using a good quality futaba cable though. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXXEJ6&P=FR&gclid=CI6W-KCc9McCFYyQHwodCqoLoA

    A2 with DJI D-Bus adapter or Futaba S-BUS adapter?

    No offense, but I and a few others have never had any issues. The problems I've seen were all related to frame and power, or lack of skills. I been flying the SuperX almost every day for just shy of two years.
