What Tests Can I Perform?

Test your limits- determine the max temperature for safe operation
Endurance test- long form tests in a heated environment
Flight replay- replay flights with controller data and study temperature changes

Why Perform Motor Heat Testing

Determine limits when there's no clear documentation
Prevent overheating and failure
Save money by protecting components
Optimize flight plans based on data

How to Perform Motor Heat Tests

1. Install your motor and propeller on the thrust stand

2. Attach up to 3 temperature probes to the propulsion system

3. Create a model to estimate temperature dissipation

4. Open the software and connect the test stand

5. Design a manual or automated test and click ‘Run’

6. Export data to a .CSV file and look at temperature changes
