Voltage problem

[wiskeyfoxtrot]

Can anybody help me with a voltage problem?.....

The voltage shows as 11.2 - 11.6 and doesnt change when flying at all. It should be 13 volts. I have changed the battery as i thought it was that, but that hasnt solved the problem. The battery seems to be getting charge but wont get above 11.6. If i switch my front light on the voltage really dips badly! Im doff when it comes to electrics .... can somebody help ??

It should be on the right hand side of your motor. Square black "finned" box, with a capacitor visible!!

Ask Piet, he changed his the other day!

Thanks for the compliment, you're welcome anytime
I'm sure Aerosan will disagree with the "scholar and gentleman" part though..

So Duck ... what was wrong? At least we can learn what to check for.

[Aerosan]
