Call me a glutton for punishment, or a stubborn curmudgeon, or something. I've decided to resurrect my Stingray once again. *Now* I'm pretty sure the last several failures were due to a faulty ESC (or its BEC). This will be not too far from a complete rebuild, in as much as I will need to start assembly almost from the beginning. All 3 booms broke or bent, main shaft bearings are crunchy, all 4 rotor shafts bent. I hae a handful of other bearings on the way, too. Going to use a different ESC and a separate BEC this time. Haven't tested servos yet, either.

I keep wanting to like this machine, but I've decided I will at the least not allow it to beat me.
