nerdsforprez Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Same. Purchased, along with a bunch of other stuff. Awesome store you got there @efferman Quote
Danke Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Is the motor supposed to have a noticeable smell after running? It also has a tendency to stall or cut power on the high speed mode and i can't figure out if it's a gearbox issue or a motor issue. Quote

Please call customer services and ask for a new motor. Some of my motors have been running for years now and no problems at all! Quote

There's something wrong with either the motor or your build. Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 Stud.io restored "a lost file". So i made a little scene of it. . Quote
efferman Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Seems we have an Airbus down Edit @steph77 @nerdsforprez today i received my V3 swashplate. In my V2 the towballs were 5,9mm in size, on V3 and your ordered V4 the towballs are 5.8mm in diameter. With lego pushrods they seem to have a little slack. It will work, but i will change the size back to 4.9. please note it will probably doesn't have an effect on your order. Edited August 18, 2022 by efferman Quote

I just hope that the pushrods will remain in place once under effort. Quote

It should work, and only on high angles jumping off. When you are not sure about it and when your order isn't on route to the printers you can cancel it and order the new revision which i have uploaded 90 minutes ago. Btw, i found a solution to lower the main rotor by 3 studs more. Edited August 18, 2022 by efferman Quote
steph77 Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) i will wait for the part and see what happend. i could eventualy coat the joinball to get a superior grip later. Another thing i noticed: The new blade (with yellow ends) are considerably lighter than the previous ones (with black ends). There is a huge difference. Is it the same with yours?

efferman Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 my kitchen scale says on both 13g. I try to find my fine scale and will check this. Quote

I can try this when I get home. I may try to cancel my order and re-order with the 5.9mm size. If I understate for last comments correctly, you presume the 5.9 towball size will work the best, right? I also have the old blades (with black tips). I will weigh both when I get home. I can't imagine a reason for the discrepancy, other than just manufacture variability. The little bit of paint on each one can't make a huge difference.... Quote
steph77 Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 In fact, i mount one new blade on an articulate rotor. The rotor instantly tilts because new baldes are lighter. I test it with the 5 new blades: the same. I notice that the new ones are thicker than previous ones. Quote

Wow... would that mean a whole new mould? Are they that much thicker? but @efferman's weren't. Be interesting to hear from others.... Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) The old ones weigh about 13gram The new ones a little over 1gram less Edited August 18, 2022 by JunkstyleGio Quote
nerdsforprez Posted August 18, 2022 Posted August 18, 2022 I am curious as to why this is the case. Or what would be the case for that. Not a new mould. But a gram per element seems like a lot. Weird. Quote

I've taken the back section apart and checked every part of the gearbox for friction, it runs ok, the only sources of strain i've found are the pitch control assembly and the rear rotor. The motor sounds a bit buzzy so i'm thinking it might just be a defective one. Quote

steph77 Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 ok, a quick summary of this beautiful part ... It was really hard to put the 3 parts together, it asked a lot of force to clic them. Once put in place, the parts were completely locked, and once again it asked a lot of force to make them turn for the first time. But after, it is absolutely awesome...video to come soon. Perfect balanced, realistic movements. Just the pin ball that really will be better hold in place with @efferman 's mod. Quote
