Flying in high temperatures!

Posted by Usman on June 10, 2014 at 11:16am

Hi,

We are having temperatures here as high as 45°C and lows around 28°C. This makes me wonder about what's the high temperature threshold of APM & Pixhawk or any other FCs like naza or multiWii?

Will it be safe for FC, ESC and motor to fly in such hot weather? Thanx.

  Thanks Gary,
  
  The only black colored items are Pixhawk & its GPS. All electronics except gps are inside clear plastic canopy (has few slots for ventilation). GPS is on top of canopy. Should I keep canopy on or remove it till weather gets better?
