    Default ekos single drive maiden

    maidened my single drive ekos today put it in the water pulled the trigger and it was very slow wouldnt even plain out, so i brought it back in swapped two of the motor wires and tried again, this thing jumped out of the water! i was very suprised no adjustments no tinkering nothing it just ran flawlessly i would estimate high 50s as i dont have a gps yet. is anyone else running a single ekos?
    anyways heres my setup
    leopard 4082 1500kv
    seaking 180 amp
    2 turnigy 4000 mah 3s 40c batts (6s total)
    futaba s3003 servo
    2000 mah 4.8v rx pack
    k 42 plastic prop

    the only problem i think i have is when i plug the batts in to the esc there is a big pop of a spark is this normal im using 5.5mm bullets
    pics and video to come soon!

    hey the pop you heard is quite normal, this happens when the capacitors in your esc gets charged up
    Do you know what the biggest problem with the world is?
    That the Smartest people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence.::tt2
