Goodmorning FT community,
Yesterday I took my p-51 out for MY maiden (as i had let the pro's trim it out for me and make sure i built it right), I was incredibly impressed with the characteristics of the plane and to be honest the power package. Coming from rc car racing, getting a cheap motor/esc combo like that usually spells disaster, but wow did that thing have some torque and it was so quiet. But I digress, the plane simply looks amazing in the air (see my P-51D QuickSilver post) and flies so smoothly.
UNFORTUNATELY, my controller lost connection/shut off while doing an inverted pass yesterday and slammed hard into the ground nose first. I would be upset, but i am still in awe of how amazing this plane flew and especially landed, so smooth and scale. So, i decided it was fixable with the help of the FT community.
Sorry for the long intro haha.
So my problems are is that i bent the shaft (not the one built into the motor rather the one that is bolted onto the opposing side) on the emaxx motors in the power package that is recommended for the FT mustang, I believe it is power package C. I would hate to have to buy a new motor. Has anyone had to buy a replacent part for the power packages?
Also the "c" fold and the BBQ skewers that align the power pod are destroyed, Im not sure if cutting that c fold section out and replacing it is a good idea as that section is part of a longer piece that makes the top of the fuselage. I am very stuck on this.
Thanks for all the help guys! Go Mustangs!
