Four Star 20 Rebuild

[OliverW]

Personally, I've never had a few grains of dirt cause large issues, but I do think it's a good idea to remove what you can.

Also, I feel your pain. This was last week. View attachment 133638

Ouch!!! I removed it til basically nothing was there. Everything spins smoothly without binding.

Close to the finish line now! Got the gear reinforced, motor on with extra blue loctite, receiver in, covering somewhat shrunk, battery door thing attached, and that is about it for the night.

Got it ready to fly tomorrow! I thought all the servos were dead, but they came back to life since the crash..

It flew!!! Video is uploading. Then it flew for the last time... A piece came off and it dove.

Still unsure what it was lol

I dunno, it still looks like an airplane. Bit of tape, some glue.........we've rebuilt worse at the flying site.

The inside of the fuse is pretty damaged. Probably will just donate it

What servos are in it? It's a shame it crashed again

I have no idea. The labels are off on some. I think they are my worst enemy, turning servos!

Spent 20 minutes and now it is ready for an engine. Anybody have any 20 size glow engines they are ready to part with? Preferably the price would be around 20 bucks.
