jcrack_corn Senior Heliman Location: Lafayette, LA
| I'm sure you have already done this, but power it up and *see* if it holds.....I was inverted on thursday (have no reason to be, just pushing it) and it was near the end of my 3s Lipo and it couldnt hold and I didnt have altitude....put it in smack on the head screw and though I stripped the front servo.....it feels stripped with no power, however.....it powers up and centers fine and holds perfectly. I flew it today in 15mph winds here in lafayette, LA (evaced from New orleans) and it had no trouble......
I think it will last until the gear sets are availble and i feel there is limited risk with this machine with one servo failing (ie...I would lose fore/aft cyclic, but I would still have left right control along with **some** fore/aft using the collective (because I could raise or lower the rear servos to match the stripped front one). and they crash real good. |
