120d02 Servos

Magooch · 03-14-2011, 03:57 PM

Had a little accident this morning with d02, kid let pitbull out of bathroom and he thought heli was a frisby... So, my little heli is currently in pieces. I just sat down to evaluate the situation, main gear mangled, frame and landing gear broke, boom is cracked, washout stab is broke. I plugged her in to check elec, one cyclic servo is not working, rx is beeping even after binding, is this cause the bad servo or is there something wrong with rx? Also, anyone know how long this parts shortage is going to last?

Could this be the first genuine and documented case of "My dog ate it?" I wasn't aware that there "is" a shortage of parts. Assume the bad servo's still plugged into the Rx? Did this happen in flight as in snatched outa the air under power? If so, bet "that" was a surprise for everyone. Does the Rx appear t' be damaged? That's a tough way t' lose your heli but it makes for a good story!

What part shortage?. Wowhobbies has everything you need. The only part short is for the M120d01. I bought parts for D02 saturday at Wow. Xheli sells a BNF D02 for $150 + shipping might be cheaper to buy new heli.

It happened very fast, took it out of the air.

I'm not 3d or anything so I don't move heli around that fast, wish I would have been recording the flight. Everything seems fine with rx there was no drool anywhere I could tell, canopy helped. Yes bad servo still plugged in.
They seem to be out of alot of parts, stabilizer holder for one, stock and cnc. True story, I have invested that much just in extra parts.

Thinking of getting cnc upgrades all around, and a chain for dog!

Scared crap out of dog by the way, little counseling we will be fine

My first heli was a 200 size coaxial. My Pit Bull decided he was going to have a head on collision with it. Now when I grab one of my helis, he rounds up his toys and lays down between the couch and the coffee table (in the safe zone

)

Yes I see out of stock probably cause only one selling since clubheli is out also. So they are getting all the business.

He is usualy a big baby and hides, but it has been cold and rainy so he has been inside alot. Lots of energy

I set heli on coffee table and he makes a wide circle to avoid it

He won't do that again... I hope. Took him for a run today, well I drove he ran. He is better now.

Still to windy to fly the 450

May have found problem with rx, unplugged esc and wires seemed loose on plug. Gave a little tug and plug came right off. Going to try to resolder those three little guys and see what happens.
