I took the WK-M to the forest today to see what kind of video I got out of it with the new 12" props fitted. I was very impressed.
There was a bit of jello towards the middle/end, but I think that could either be because I didn't balance the props, or the esc's were giving in.
Right at the end of the flight, it lost all power and started wobbling all over the place. I luckily managed to land within seconds. I tried to restart the motors, but only 3 fired up....the esc's were hot enough to roast chestnuts on! My reckoning is that with the smaller props, the motors need to spin faster, causing the esc's to have to work harder. Does that make sense?
They are these 30A jobbies from arducopter. Maybe I need to use 40A esc's, any suggestions for something well priced and good value?
