RADIO CONTROL ELECTRICS - 2005/03
THIS COLUMN INCLUDES a review of ESC motor (voltage)
cutoff and some discussion of the Goldberg Tiger ARF.
Based on reader mail, it’s clear that there is some misunderstanding
about the motor (voltage)-cutoff function found in most contemporary
ESCs. Following is some background and present-day info on the
subject.
In the earliest days of electric power, little was thought of—and
much less done about—controlling motor power in flight. Roughly 30
years ago, many E-fliers just turned on a manual motor switch,
launched, and flew until the Ni-Cd pack ran dry.
