Well got to maiden my Rafale this weekend... Great flying EDF really a blast to fly... Only problem is that on the second flight about 2 minutes into it the motor just stopped. I landed it and you could smell the tail pipe and tell the motor was toast. I have since pulled the EDF unit and the motor sure enough it's fried... Has anyone else had this problem? I have contacted Hobby Lobby about it but I have also been looking at a DON Wicked 4800kv as a replacement...
I think most have had this happen at some point. It seems to be getting worse with regards to longevity. The older planes seem to last a bit longer. I know of 6 motors now that I have fried in less than 20 flights.
