Title: Why my RC Plane is running in backward direction.....???
Post by: ravirajjnu on February 01, 2014, 07:58:08 PM
Can anyone help me....
Actually, My plane is running in backward direction instead of forward. Even i had tried to reverse the direction of propeller to reverse the pressure. but still there is same problem....

Try changing the two Wires connection (any two connections from motor to ESC ) .
That will change the motor direction

U hav to reverse the esc wires.there will be three wires in which u need to reverse any two wires.this will work. :thumbsup:

hello ravi where r u in Jaipur?
2 things

a. rotation direction of prop (by changing 2 wires of motor on ESC)
b. how prop is put on motor (by changing the prop on motor)

some wire shorting or motor jam

Useful read:
http://www.rcindia.org/multirotors/puller-propellers-using-pusher-propellers/ (http://www.rcindia.org/multirotors/puller-propellers-using-pusher-propellers/)

Regarding heating, first line of action is to check if your motor is pulling more current than required. This could be due to:

1. Motor Jamming - should turn by hand freely with the rotor lightly snapping on at fixed positions
2. As per design - Maybe your motor and ESC are mismatched, maybe your motor is designed to pull more current than what the ESC is designed for. Use an ampere meter to check for current draw.
3. Overspeced Prop- Are you using the recommended propeller?
4. Overspeced battery - Are you using the recommended battery (2s/3s/4s)?
5. Inverted Prop - Since you've been fiddling with the propeller direction, are you sure that your prop is running in the correct direction, Leading edge should strike air - leading edge is marked by number written on prop - see link above
6. WOT - Are you running Wide open throttle all the time, on ground?

Hi Ravi,

can you post the details of the ESC, motor and prop that you are using, this might be useful.

Ravi you might be using a lesser capacity esc say 20 amps ....
upgrade your esc
and for the reverse working of the motor....as rightly said... switch the two out of three esc wires...
