Todays bad luck ...... Thanks all in particular those who offered support and or a heli to fly ! Youre awesome . Not been my best day , after changing brand of heli I fly I have been through weeks of bad luck , tuning and set up issues , not really the models fault , but I am so frustrated with not being able to progress , and having such issues . Lets just cover the last two weeks , so I can give you an idea , I put vortex on the E7 , and immediately loved the feel , second flight mid low funnel , my finger slipped off the cyclics , and I drove it in. Repaired damage spooled up and esc fire . New esc and I spend hours and hours chasing a vibe on the tail , replaced just about everything on the tail , and eventually found it was the front tail drive gear , that was pushed slightly forward in the bearings causing too tight a gear mesh . But before that , the high frequency vibe snapped first the tail bel crank , lucky save! Then the tail pushrod snapped , again lucky save ! Finally get it in the air , massive head wobble ,lots of checking , head scratching and help from the awesome Steven Gerrard and I found I needed to set the vortex to rigid Fly it today , esc gov all over the place and I forgot laptop to tune esc. So I fly the N7 , last week the throttle servo failed , I put a new one in for this week ,just started to get the tune sorted and the throttle servo fails in flight , wide open , somehow causing the fbl unit to brown out , very scared to have a big model running flat out with a loss of control , no throttle hold , no pitch control and oddly only occasional cyclics , after my caller Peter Foulkes shouting to the club members for safety , I just had to do my best to try and stop the heli drifting back over the pits . Eventually the motor made so much tank pressure , due to running flat out that the tank vent popped ,it ran lean and started to seize , oddly the pitch decided to work right now and drove the poor heli in to the ground , insult to injury ! So excuse me for venting but I gave every right! Wound licking time , and most disappointed with my luck ATM , bugger !!!!
