[QUOTE="Sterling Collins, post: 7524, member: 457"] I have a 95 degree to 100 degrees rule that I follow . I am a 20 year RC Heli and RC plane pilot and I I had the ESC a few times( electronic speed controller ) shut down on me at temps close to 100 degrees . Also the Lipo batteries will get very hot and puff up at 100 degrees and that is not good as you shorten life . Feel your Spark after a flight and it is very warm ( your Spark is a computer -- we keep computers cool so they work right ). I let mine cool for a few min between flights . On the P3A and P4P if you change batteries too soon you get warned of overheating . My batteries over 95 degrees seem to not last as long and I usually cut the flight with 40 % on the battery . I will not fly in 100 degrees ...Period . I usually fly in the morning when cool or evenings when the Sun goes down . I am not saying not to fly in 100 degrees but be very careful as the ESC will overheat at times and when they do they shut down !!! ( drone falls out of sky ) Aces High !!! [/QUOTE]
