Guys


I switched the Avistar to a GP3300 pack and still had power problems. I pulled the brushes and they looked clean. When I put them back in, I couldn't get a complete circuit. I pushed on the brushes with a screwdriver and the speed control activated for a second then lost contact. Since I had a spare brush set at home, I put the Avistar back in the truck and flew my Funtana.

Back at home I pulled both brushes. One was worn shorter than the other and both were shorter than the new ones. My guess is the shorter length of the brushes kept the springs from keeping a tight fit against the commuter. I put in the new ones and things seem fine. No trouble booting the Griffen 55 now. Test flying in AM.

My 1900 mahSCR pack is most likely still good. It still gives 1.2 V per cell.
