Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!

Radioflyer,

I would guess that the wire on the gyro, vibrated loose, I've never touch it. I'd suspect that during the manufacturing process that when the wire insulation was stripped, that a few of the tiny little wires were cut loose too. Example, instead of having 30 tiny wires, you only have 15. Plus a cold soldier joint could be a culprit too. Anyway, as mentioned, I was lucky to find the problem and repair it.

Just be patient and get the CF blades for the T-Rex when available. Happy adjusting! A tedious task for sure.

I'm steering now towards the HBKII, I have one and have upgraded to the Brushless Motor and installed the HS-55 servos. It's a little bigger that a Blade and a smaller than a T-Rex. Just inbetween.

Hey there's Barrick... See Pictures.

God Bless Jay,

Hey Dave, great catch on the lead, that could have been bad. Did it vibrate loose or tugged? I keep finding more and more parts to replace[:@] I even broke the see-saw. Hobby-Sports.com has everything on order and all parts will be in Friday. They couldn't get the CF in from horizon(backorder) but I odered 2 more sets of woodies. They have a pair of regular carbon yellows in stock but I thought I go for CF when I can get them. I read that I should stay away from the fiberglass ones. I can't wait to get it back together, adjust it again[:'(], and fly. I love the T-Rex.
I cut away more of the canopy on my blade to try to get more airflow to the motor. I hope this works. It was a bit to windy to fly today so I couldn't try it out. I love the way the DD tail is holding up after I did Crashes recommendations on cutting the prop down. I saw today the Hobby-Sports.com had another Slo-max in stock just in case this one goes bad

God Bless Dave, and All!
