I just finished my Sea Angel, and I purchased the power pack C with it, that comes with the newer FT radial motor.
On the third flight it all of a sudden started making of ton of rattling noise, and losing power. I managed to bring it in on a glide and the plane was ok. When I went to inspect it, it seemed the shaft/case was lose, and grinding/moving around when I inspected it. Has this happened to anyone else? The motor wasn't even hot at all, seems like a defect. Any input is appreciated.
