Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

180 sq. inches!?!
What is that? 3 foot span- 5" chord?
Seems to me the motors are drawing too much trying to lift that
gargantuan wing and frying the Rx's transistors. Look into an FET mod.


You might be on to something. The last RX failure occured after some full power test flying. Perhaps 3 minutes of it. I would think that is within RX design limits. It also occured on the side where I extended the motor wiring so there may have been some extra resistance. If the FET mod involes RX soldering, I'll have to consider this experiment a dead end. The wing is 30 inches with a 6 inch chord. About 40 grams in AUW.

Micro, thanks for the pictures. I think it's worth another $30 to give this one more try.
