Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

Did you ever wonder if you had a cursed airframe? I have what was originally a blue c channel. I gave it to my brother for his b-day. He flew it a couple of times and popped the glue on the tail immediately, and knocked a motor of shortly thereafter. He never reglued the motor effectively. When he came to visit this summer he brought the plane and showed me what was up. I gave him one of my spares. I figured I would have a relatively new battery, at least one good motor, two props, and if he didn't fly it much a potentially good board.

I stripped the guts out of the airframe and put aa jet guts in it. It would fly quickly into the ground or wouln't turn because of to much power. Straight line it was great, but at some point you have to turn.

So I put the new motors I got from mega-byte on there. A simple, if moderately time consuming, change. Now the thing won't charge. Or something. I know I don't have the rpm for flight. It did just occur to me, I can measure voltage at the motor. 3.6v at high throttle right? Tim
