Hi,

So its summer in the west and that means plenty of 95-100 degree days. When I fly on a hot day now the motors come down hot enough where I can hold them only for a few seconds. When it's 75 degrees they are just a little warm but not hot. Should I lower my PIDs to get cooler motors? Or is this normal for very hot days? Just dont want to smoke my brand new F60s.Thanks!

Generally, yes - for me at least, if I can't hold em continuously, I ratchet back PIDs. Even if I can hold them but its uncomfortable I ratchet back PIDs so that I have a bit of headroom in case of a crash.

Set up a second profile, filters as well as PID tune might be beneficial.

That way you can switch instantly.

Flying 30C plus ambient, most of my quads will keep motors to be comfortable to hold extended without wincing! ;-)

Curious. What do you keep your master slider at oj a 5"? Om a 95 degree day my motors are hot at 1.4. My lpf filters are off or slider at hard right and rpm filtering on. Defailt d term filtering. I also turn dmin off.

Well I decided to rip 2 packs outside today. Ots about 96 degrees here in Utah with no clouds. I ran default PIDs and filtering except for 1.3 on pitch axis tracking slider. Motors are still hot. Am I expecting too much on such a hot day or is that not normal?

Its hard to say...
1. fly at dawn/dusk and compare.
2. hot just hovering?
3. is there warbling noise when you do sharp twitch moves?

It's been so hot lately its hard to find a cool time to fly however i did recently go to Alaska and flew there on a 70-75 degree day and the mototrs were just slightly warm not hot at all.

It's not hot just hovering. And no warbling noises doing sharp twitch moves. The noise profile in blackbox is fine.

EDIT: Just took it for a flight in a very temperate 78 degree day. Motors are just slightly warm. Not hot at all.
