Yeup, gotta have the RibEye at least once per quarter. I think his name is Pete that runs the place. Ithink Farmington Steak House was our first stop the night we moved in town?

By the way, on the hall sensor ordeal. I have plugged in the ignition module to a fresh battery, have the plug in the socket attached to the ignition module and spin the prop to see if Isee spark. Nothing.

I moved the wire going into the sensor and spin the prop again and viola!! Spark Spark Spark.

I ordered a new sensor from Jody at Valleyview RC. Awesome service, he even had the elusive spinner bolt I needed for a Dave Brown 3.5" spinner to this DL motor (very hard to find a 5MM x 65MM cap screw) I got a couple other things coming from him too.

I am going to borrow one from my freind Brian until the new one shows up. Aparently he is the Godfather of RC, he has one of everything, is willing to loan them out and generally has the answer to my questions. He was a real life saver at the field Sunday with a big geared down starter which helped with the very sluggish motor I was flipping all afternoon in the sun!!

Thanks for everybody's advice. All of it was good and pointed me down the road to eliminating one thing after another till I found what was ailing my beloved Timex er-uhh DL-50 (takes a licking and keeps on ticking) I think I've busted a dozen blades on this thing and it seems to be untouched inside. I checked the play in the bearings and wrist pin, still tight, no air leaks in the case or front bearing unbelievable. It should have been oozing oil out of every seam after what it's been through.

Every time I crash I learn something. I'm tired of learning things. The lesson this time is "stay 2-3 mistakes high until you are too old to hot dog" ok or at least until my wallet recovers a little.
