So I finally got to do some testing without crazy winds, then THIS happens!
Oh well, it could have been very bad, but I was lucky and did not have any major issues.
I have some repairs to do, but in reality I was thinking of doing the mod I NEED to do now anyway, so... NBD!
That dark spot on the red wire is where it melted.
Views of the melted plastic/foam board with blind nuts for the motor mount.
The motor mount actually melted into the plastic/foam board.
The plastic/foam board is scrap material left over from faux window blinds.
It works well, but can have issues...
Actually I use it often and this is the first time I've had any kind of failure.
Season Two of the Trust Time Trial (T3) Contest has now begun. The third round was a reliablilty/aerial photography round for both planes and copters, which is now closed. Stay tuned for the next round, beginning soon.61 members
