Default Thanks

Mike, thanks, I think.

My set up is HS-225mg all around. I have blown the motors on both aileron and the rudder servos.(Hitec replaced, no charge.) HS-81 on throttle. Started jittering, also replaced.

OS46fx for power. Had the bearings come apart in a low hover. It stayed running. Got it on the ground and let it idle(like an idiot)and my buddy and I stared at it and scratched our heads and said "wonder what happened?" Took the head off and there were pieces of the bearing case on the top of the piston. Sent it to hobby services, replaced for free. (My fault due to poor upkeep.)

Weight before lead. 3lb 13oz. After 4lb. Will build a replacement next year and mount the engine as per plans instead of upright.

Great profile.

Jess
