Power System Requirements
Inadequate power systems that do not provide the necessary
minimum voltage to the receiver during flight are the number one
cause of in-flight failures. Some of the power system components
that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include:
• Receiver battery pack (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state
of charge)
• TheESC’scapabilitytodelivercurrenttothereceiverinelectric
aircraft
• The switch harness, battery leads, servo leads, regulators, etc.
Recommended Power System Test Guidelines
If a questionable power system is being used (e.g., a small or old
battery,anESCthatmaynothaveaBECthatwillsupporthigh-
current draw, etc.), perform the following test with a voltmeter.
The Hangar 9
®
DigitalServo&RxCurrentMeter(HAN172)orthe
Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) work well for this test.
Plug the voltmeter into an open channel port in the receiver and,
with the system on, load the control surfaces (apply pressure
with your hand) while monitoring the voltage at the receiver. The
voltage should remain above 4.8 volts even when all servos are
heavily loaded.
CAUTION: When charging Ni-MH batteries, make sure the
battery fully charges. Ni-MH batteries charged with peak
detection fast chargers have a tendency to false peak (i.e. not fully
charge), which could lead to a crash.
