Motor took a dump today 10 minutes into the flight. Just lost power and quit. On the ground no compression and clicking noise. Will prob need a new ring and liner I would imagine. This is the second motor that's had a big problem. 1st one lost the c clip off the piston rod, that didn't go well.
So if I send it out there, they don't have any pistons, if it would need that who knows how long it would take. I suppose if I tear it apart myself to find out what exactly is wrong they'll void the warranty, who knows if they'll warranty it anyways. I've seen others who had this problem and they didn't end up happy. Something about warped liners.
I could just tear it down myself and order the parts straight from japan for half the cost of hobbico and put a bowman ring in it.
I've been wanting to try a DA35.
