OOPS, Major electrical malfunction!
Here's an oddity that happened to me the oter day:
Took my Dazzler to the flying field the other day for its maiden voyage. Was in the process of doing my range check when all control surfaces stopped moving. everything was dead![:@]
As I walked back to the plane I noticed smoke coming from the hatch. Uh-oh[X(]
To make a long story short, there's not alot of room for all the goodies in the fuselage and as a result, my throttle arm from the servo to the throttle was rubbing against the electrical connector to the battery. Now there's only about 1.5mm of exposed silver contacts, well sure enough, my throttle rod rubbed right across the both of them and shorted out the battery pack, melted wires but fortunately caused no fires!
Take this under advisement. NO OPEN CONTACTS!, Tape them off or do something elso to eliminate the risk.
Suffice it to say, the maiden voyage was postponed!
Thanks guys!
