 Walkera 60 Power Failure Hello, i wanted to know if anyone encountered this before or have any idea what's wrong with my heli. I have a Walkera 60 and flying it for quite sometime now until recently i wasn't able to fly it. To start with, I'm using a 11.1v 18C lipo Battery, (already swollen and I know its getting bad) but still working but its not providing enough juice to fly the heli longer as it was before, a 30 Amp ESC and 3800 Kv outrunner brushless motor and a ParkBEC from dimension Enginnering. The problem is when i try to fire up the throttle the heli will just give a lift a foot or two and suddenly the motor stops and bring the heli back to the ground slowly. Is there any issue with my ESC? or the Motor? or any short circuit on the connections or simply my Battery is already dead  . Any help is much appreciated. |

| Re: Walkera 60 Power Failure I would say your battery has had it - if its bloated its iffy to carry on using it to say the least - if problem still ocurs with new battery then look deeper in to it. Hope this helps........David |

| Re: Walkera 60 Power Failure Your esc will cut off the motor when the battery voltage hits a certain point like nine volts. If your battery if fried then it will drop below this point as soon as you load it and then the esc will cutoff. I had a couple of batteries do this when I didn't watch them close on a hot day and they puffed. Now they drop their voltage as soon as I put a load on them.

| Re: Walkera 60 Power Failure Hopefully its only the battery (its really bloated and the cells are not balance whenever I charge them). Got a new one but can't wait to try it. I'll let you know the outcome. Thanks a lot baby Huey |
