AXN Floater Jet foiled takeoff - Flat battery

One of those flights.... Belly-glide take-off fails into a cartwheel. Second attempt barely works..
Ample time to study the botanics on the airstrip!
I seem a little low on power. Follows a flight with a little thermal, a lot of hot-dogging.
And then the motor dies on me. Time to land NOW :-)
So I goofed: Instead of a fresh pack I had inserted a half depleted pack in the plane.

I left the ESC where the factory put it. - as you can see I fly the hell out of it, but neither the cheap servo's nor the ESC seem to mind. I fly several cheap HK planes with stock ESC / servo's without issues. I do set up the clevices in order to allow the servo's to make the maximum trow for the desired control surface movement - rather than limit the trow in the computer TX. YMMV...

Where did you mounted the ESC? I have readed nasty stories of the OEM ESC burning up fast

Thanks - the cam is simple FCOII, std settings (not much to set :-), 1 GB SD card.

is it the stock motor?

Thanks ... tought i dont renember where the ESC was because it was all garbled inside .

Mine is almost finished (only organize ok the interior stuff and trim the ailerons manually.

It became about 640g with a 3S 2200 batt. Supose its ok?

Did you employ flaperons/elevons in yours? I have been flying gliders for some years but slow ones and only 2 chanel. I want to start with powered and ailerons but slowly so i try it go relativy slow at first and so i programed flaperons..

@maestrosVIP Did you kepts control after burn out? I bought mine and i intend to first-flight it in a few days and a new ESC would take couple weeks .. what worriers me most is the OEM ESC burning and taking out power to the receiver

Outstanding video quality. (Nice countryside too!) What cam. are you using? Is it video stabilized? What settings are you using? How much memory. Thanks.
