Testing Lithium Polymer batteries

Bought 3 used Lithium Polymer batteries

Doing some tests in the workshop - does the controller keep up with the new situation? Remember, I had one or two flights with 12 Nicad cells, this was clearly overpowering the system and lead to a bad crash

These batteries (LiPoly 3S3P) are similar to 10nicad cells, whereas up to now I mostly flew on 7-8 cells

The motor test revealed that the batteries keep up to my expectations. More thrust, 30A current seems to be no problem for these batteries - they just got a bit warmer

Unfortunately, the motor is getting quite hot. I will have to use less than half throttle for most of the flights and use full power only for takeoffs
