@@roachcoachhelis6387 OK, then your ESC failed. The power mosfets (transistors) overheat and fail.

This happens, especially in EDFs, pulling high current. I use larger ESCs than recommended in 80MMs and larger.

@roachcoachhelis6387 The cost of the battery does not define if it's good or not, by the way. Cheap meaning not really the C rating it shows...

@hayloft3834Ай бұрын
Won't fly, won't land when coming down flat. If the explanation is that the ESC went as noted elsewhere then that could be an excuse but in the description it is noted that the motor quit in which case nose down was the way it should have been pointed.

It appears that the grass carp were interfering with they Styrofoam bass. However Bob the bobber didn't give up and was plainly caught in the end. You winged it in the end. I didn't see and sneaky snakes that were in the vicinity. Luckily there wasn't an FAA inspector near bye! Okay bye now!

Try sticking the pole THROUGH the fence from about 3 inches from the ground.. and lock the reel. Then hook it and PULL the pole to the fence.. then put the bobber over the top of the fence and then wrap the bobber around the tail and then reel it in. I have a Radian..

Good afternoon Roach! This is Mike. I talk to you about the A1 set up. I got my T-Rex 550 dominator all built just waiting for my receiver and A1 controller to come in from China. You know how that goes watching videos everything looks pretty basic one thing I didn’t understand too much. I guess during set up. I guess it has to be in 3-D modeoff off auto is that correct? Thank you for your help.

For the haters out there that think they know more about what it is I am doing than I do , The helicopter took off and did what it was supposed to do , it took off just fine it did the circle it did the figure 8 and it returned home and landed all on its own , and the wind was about 12mph ! The training gear it is mounted to it for safety and does not affect its flying ability , once the test flight has been completed the gear comes off , I use the gear to setup any and all new builds it has saved me more than once !! So don't hate on it unless you have tired it !! I have sold several with no complaints !!
