gotta love ays like these. go out to the field and come back with a brand new airplane.
guy who bought it said he got it on sale but after reading about issues some people have had with it, decided he would just crash it. so, he just gave it to me.
has a built in flight controller along with the Safe and ASX3. not that i will use that nonsense but...
on another note, had some issues with my new FT radial motor today on the mini arrow. was flying FPV and hauling butt when i lost power. luckily i was high enough that i was able to glide back to the field and land. upon inspection the motor was not spinning up. nothing was hot, not the motor, esc, or battery. i unplugged and tried again and was able to get the motor to turn, but not anywhere close to full power. this was only the second flight on the power setup and to say the least i was pretty bummed, especially for the price paid. got home and started to mess with it, plugged in a new 4S battery and magically everything worked again. this doesn't make me happy. intermittent issues like this drive me crazy. i don't like putting an airplane in the air that i'm not 100% sure about. does anyone know if FT has some sort of fail safe or something else that could cause this? i was running their recommended setup so i would hope that i wasn't pushing the power setup to hard.
laters,
me
