Default RE: Deadstick on DA 50

Well I had another dead stick today... crazy. The horrible connectors that DA supplies with the engines are too big for the size wire they are using.. so it vibrated loose while I was hovering. I was very lucky I was high enough to recover and land without incident.

I have been warned not to ever use those... well, I now know why.

Anyone running a DA engine would be well advised to eliminate that problematic power pole connector and either solder the connection or replace it with a standard (servo) type or deans connector like everyone else.

Not sure why in the world DA uses those crappy things... everything else about their engines are right on.
