repair

Hey everyone, I am just about to scratch build an FT Sportster. This will be my first mid/low fixed wing through the fuselage. Unfortunately, crashes happen and previously (on the FT Bushwacker) I could easily repair/rebuild/store the wing and fuselage separately. Just wondering how feasible it...

Hello All, Hobby Zone Carbon Cub S2, crashed it, and am now putting it back together. The aileron servos are in a recess, and held in by a sort of stiffish tape that is very sticky. Any opinions on what type of tape this is? Does it matter? If it were you, what would you use? It has to stick...

I have owned a Sport Cub S for about 2 years now, but it has not seen a lot of flying. I went to open it to fix a prop shaft that I had bent, and in opening it, I discovered a thin, red cable that only had one connection point. Is this the antenna for controller binding? Also, whenever I try to...

I've been helping my son learn to fly with a FT Simple Cub on power pack B. He nosed it into the ground after barely missing it the first time and stalling. Maybe 10-20ft height. Maybe at a ~70deg angle. The motor seems to still be balanced just fine. There's no play on the shaft or outrunner...

One side of the horizontal stabilizer on my newly built Cruiser (Tigger Twin) folded and the elevator ripped in the middle. No crash prior (or after). Landed with half an elevator and a flapping H. Stab! :) I think there may have been a weak line in the foaboard, or the sheer speed of...

I'm pretty sure the motors are not burnt or damaged and all ESCs load up up in bheli but the two back motors only stutter (no spin) when armed. I've looked into many videos that mention timing errors between ESCs but not sure if calibration is even possible. Any input appreciated...

Photos coming later probably. First, a little intro so you know what's going on: I taught my friend all he knows about flying with my little champ. He then bought one and got into flying that way. Over the years his plane has gotten in worse and worse condition and it has come to a point where...

I recently bought a champ S+. I've flown it for about two and a half hours only crashing and breaking the tail twice!! But when I went out last time about half way through I landed and when i went over to hand launch I noticed the rudder was way off. When I took it apart the heat shrink had...

Hi, Just got my first semi-good drone (ZMR-250) and it may be a bit out of my league ahaha. I'm on my last set of props after every flight attempt has smashed at least one off. The problem is that the drone is flipping as soon as it goes to lift off. I have tested that all my motors are spinning...

A plow is a tool, so here it goes! I've made a video detailing most of an very interesting modification to the plow control paddle for my Boss plow. I have been living with some finicky buttons on the remote for my plow for over a year, and finally got annoyed enough to do something about it...

Hey guys, beginner here I have fair knowledge of electronics but I thought I check with professionals before I do anything so here's the deal. I have two 7000mAh 4 cell Li-Ion batteries each in 2P4S configuration and I left them connected to their Y lead (parallel lead) after disconnecting them...

Hello, A few month ago, I crashed my Parkzone P-51D w/ AS3X and I am just getting around to repairing it. I found that my motor shaft is bend so I plan on replacing that, and my fuselage took a bit of a beating. The front is near destroyed but everything else including the electronics are...

I have had my share of busted props, bent landing gear, lost a horizontal stabilizer, but never a major wipe out. The fuselage stick on the Slow V was very weak and I had to replace that a couple times, but for my regular planes we were pretty uneventful in terms of crashing until recently...

Hi guys, I have posted here once for help "building" my Mini DLG from Hobbyking, and got great answers. Now after 2 flying sessions (which were a learning process and a complete blast!) the boom is split right under the wings and I am not sure (how) I can repair it. :( Maybe you can offer some...

I built the spitfire last week using FT's build kit. It went smoothly and I took it out last weekend to fly it! It flew like a dream and it only needed a little bit of trimming. This is my second plane. My first was the storch. Anyway, while I was flying it, my buddy decides to fly his super...

So, quite some time ago I bought myself a hobbyzone champ. very easy and fun flying micro. But soon enough, you grow out of it. because my birthday would be soon and I had some money saved up, I wanted to build my own plane. I started to buy some parts and things. As I wanted to be wise, I...

Plane: Sport Cub S by Horizion Hobby Material: Styrofoam I've very new to the hobby of RC aircraft and I'm not sure whether I should repair a wing crack with glue or tape. I'm pretty sure that tape would be the best option considering the crack is fairly minor, but I want to make sure. I...

Hello everyone, i need your help and advice. flying my Hexacopter DJI F550 between two buildings, it wasnt windy where i was but 15 feet of the ground the hexa start shaking really bad, with strong wing, i lost visual and it landed on one of those ponds that new buildings are so fond of it. I...

There are a lot of firsts going on here. My first post on the FT forums about my first successful day flying my first R/C plane, the FT Spitfire. I say first 'successful' flight because today was the day I flew without breaking anything. The first two attempts had some interesting results...

I recently bought an FT Simple Soarer speed build kit. I also ordered a Lazertoyz blue wonder powerpack. The glider got here quick and was simple to put together. However the power pack was on back order so i used some old servos from a Honey Bee King 3 RC helicopter i had laying around. this...
