RE: Phase 3 EF-16 problems
Somehow I pieced the tiny fragments back together, put a different reciever in it, everything else stayed exactly the same (esc, servos, batt. ect.). I flew the plane many times over the past two days with no problems! Flies AMAZINGLY well! I love it. Landings are super smooth, and top end is somewhat impressive (although I think my Hyperion edge 540 could almost keep up with it). It has a great presence in the air, and draws quite a bit of attention. However, about ten minutes ago I was flying in the park in about ten to fifteen mph winds. The jet handled the wind fine, but I could see it was getting knocked around a bit due to the turbulent nature of the wind. I had been doing some full speed passes low to the ground, and during the last one both stabilators ripped off in flight simultaneously! Very spectacular crash, but this time it went into a soft patch of undergrowth which may have saved my lipo (looks okay, but time will tell). Anyway I found the replacement airframe at Hobbypeople.net for 65 bucks shipped! I should have mine in a few days, and this time I will reinforce the tail area! Also, if anyone doesn't know, blackdogrc.com has 3s1p 2100mah packs for 25 bucks and free shipping!!!!! Anyway, I love this jet!!!!
