ESM Corsair - 2nd flight, ESC goes up in smoke mid-flight (t

Beautiful. Love the canopy / flap mix. Scary to see smoke on an electric / lipo powered aircraft. Hope you were able to fly it again. Really fine...

@RCKenpilot Thanks. Yes, I replaced the motor with one pulling less amps, changed the prop, and increased the ESC to a 160HV. No problems since and enjoy flying the model very much.

A 120 amp Hi Voltage ESC went up in smoke? How many amps does that Hacker motor draw on a 12 cell set up? More than 120 amps? Seems like a lot.
