I got one as a Christmas present. Was quite a quick build, good quality paint job, all the electrics worked fine. Even took it for a few taxi laps around my back deck. Then, about an hour later I plugged it in again. There was a noise like a thump and the battery wires went hot. I promptly unplugged and a smell like burnt tobacco filled the air. I plugged the battery in again, and the ESC powered up as normal, but the motor didn't work. I had a laugh when I opened the plane up, pulled out the motor and it had a QC29 sticker on it. I'll look out for Mr(s) 29 in future I think...
Long story short, I'm going to have a try with HK to see if anything can be done. I'm not going to hold my breath, but you never know...
Anyhow, I'm thinking about what to do in the absence of any type of customer support...
I've got 2x 1600mAh 20C 3s, and they balance the Mig-15 really well. I may in the future upgrade to 4s however.
So I'm tossing up between getting one of these: 64mm 3s-4s EDF with motor
and one of these: 2610 4500kv 3s motor
The former isn't going to be quite as powerful on 3s as the latter, but will plug straight in without having to stuff around with tight shafts etc. And it can be given more go with 4s. It's only $20 + $5.99 postage.
The latter is supposedly good for 600g thrust on 3s at 27A, but can't be upgraded to 4s. I'll have to change the shaft over to fit the stock EDF, and they're notoriously tight. They're priced at $10.44 + $3.99 post.
