Hi.
I should have stayed in bed!
But noooooooooo i had to go flying:fly
Wel i did and on the 4th flight i tried a sideways loop.
Done them before, but not enough negative collective on the top this time so the poor hurry smashed ito the ground sideways.
One msitake to low:arggg:
I needed more collective today because i had lowered the headspeed do do some tests.
Stupid to continue the move wile it was clear i was to low.
Full negative would have saved the day. Hindsight 20/20 :DOH
When i got to the site i was just in time to see the ESC puff some magic smoke.....
Pulled the batt connector loose. Did not want the whole thing to go up in smoke.
A bit strange, i did hit throttle hold as soon my brain was able to understand what had happened. (that was rather quick this time)
damage:
CF blades
75 AMp gaui ESC
Z20-980 toasted
1 blade holder
Landding gear mounts torn from plastic frame
Skids bent. (broke when bending it back)
Main axis bearing (just 4 flights)
canopy
Flybar
1 paddle cracked
Body retainer(canopy holder)
I am wondering what to buy.
The whole thing flew well.
I did want a bit more power.:smokin:
Maybe buy the Z30-1100 ( setup for about the same headspeed)
Would like to keep my flighttimes about the same.:confused:
Anyone with info on the scorpion 1210??
The gau 75 amps esc is pretty expensive (only checked F-H)
Maybe the Hobbywing pentium 60???:thinking
Should be able to handle the Z30 according to specs....
The Gaui 500 blades worked fine but is there a cheep adres for blades like that.
Suggestions more than welcome!
The pics:
Rather obvious i guess
The one with the motor shows the insulation on the windings has melted on 4 poles.
I tried the esc/motor but nly got more smoke from the motor.
The bearings on the motor were also starting to wear.
