motor temperature

I don't believe MK Tools can show you engine temp - it would need a sensor mounted within the engine. The best you can do is mathematically predict temperature based on power consumption (using eCalc, for example) - or measure it with an IR thermometer immediately after landing.

Not sure what you mean by your second question.

On MKtools u have only temperatures of BLcontrolers if u want to see temperature use IR meter as Jes said, u can measure in the air.

If I recall correctly, 2.75v per cell is the absolute minimum safe voltage for most LiPo cells. Of course, 3.0v is the recommended minimum. 3.3 is normal.

My hexakopter starts to beep at 3.75. Is that normal? I'm not sure which is beeping from the PH or battery low they both sound the same. When I take it out of PH and turn the GPS off it will still beep. any thoughts Shaun

You can set at what voltage the alarm goes off see "http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/en/MK-Parameter/Misc" check what you have yours set too.

With a few grands worth of kit in the air why risk it.. I have my external Lipo Alarm set to 3.6 and my MK to 3.4. If you are carrying heavy kit its just not worth the risk of going to low for another min or two in the air.. Get it down and swap them over for fresh packs.. I have seen to many stuffed MR's just because peeps have been carried away by the moment and not listened to their alarm or monitored their flight time
