It goes down when it cools off, but just hovering around, it should have gotten hot. But it did. I think there is just way too much resistance in this battery now and the light draw that I'm putting on it with the alpha 400 motor is actually too much for it. I think the motor is supposed to be something around 25a at 11.1v. I'm going to charge it up one more time, put my watt meter on it (thanks again Derek!) and see just how many amps I'm pulling.
It's possible that the motor is pulling way too many amps than it should. It's an old motor. I took the 30a ESC off the heli because the 40a has a slow start feature. If it is the motor, I'm going to be looking for a new one. Might be time to start putting Align on this bird. Was trying to keep it all clone, but that may be playing with fire. At some point, I'm going to get burned, and get burned bad. More than likely resulting in a crash.
