    Servo problem

    It isn't so much the knock as the power loss in surges. The longer it runs the worse it gets. At first only wide open throttle, then at any throttle setting. I have the same motor and ESC combination in another plane that works perfectly.

    Alkyl6, it has to be a wiring problem. There are too many known running combinations of this motor and ESC. I have another plane with the same combination that runs flawlessly. I thinking connections, but you don't really know until the problem stops.

    Servo problem

    Motrolfly 4330-206, CC Ice2 80HV, 12S, XOAR 20x10. Runs up fine pre flight. In the air it starts to knock under load and then power surges. When I brought it down it wouldn't even taxi the reduction was so great. I am running the 3.27 firmware and known good settings. I'd have to pull the logs...

    Servo problem

    Me too. I'm about to swap on a known good combo just to fly the plane.

    Servo problem

    Not quite. Still haven't got the motor running right. Probably have a loose connection somewhere. Tracking it down one step at a time.

    After removing and re-soldering the ESC connections, I still have the problem. I did notice one of the male bullets is a little loose when inserted into the females. I tried to expand the springs on the bullet with no luck. I think I'll try putting the 216kv on this plane with the 20x8 and see...

    SAVOX issued an RMA. I put it in the mail today.

    Servo problem

    @ericb. Update: unable to duplicate the problem in either aileron channel. The arm is definitely solid in both directions. I shook the wing and wires and couldn't get it to stop. I definitely do not have confidence in this servo.

    Servo problem

    If it was simply stopping off center or just a few degrees off I would say maybe its the arm. It moves through 45 degrees and fights exactly at center every time. When it stops moving with the sticks, it stops moving. The servo stops buzzing, the servo stops turning, like it is dead. If it was...

    Servo problem

    The arm isn't slipping. When I pick up the aileron the gears are turning in the servo. It is almost like it doesn't recognize that it is off center in only one direction. For the record Spot On V2 arms.

    Servo problem

    You are going to have to explain that one to me. I am having a hard time connecting the dots. This is definitely electrical in nature.

    Servo problem

    I will swap the wings around and see what happens. We will see. Now I need to figure out my motor issue. I will be re-soldering bullets today.

    Servo problem

    I had a strange intermittent servo problem this weekend. Brand new Savox 1270TG on all surfaces. While pre fighting the plane I check the direction of all surfaces. Left aileron stopped in the down position. I could pull it up with my fingers to center and push it back down. At center it fights...

    The Motrolfly 4330 / Castle Creations HV 80 is a known good combination but I'm having some issues to flesh out. I have a power surge once in the air. So far I've brought it back to the 3.27 firmware with no change. Next step is to re solder the bullets in the ESC. I questioned the quality of my...

    Cam, it looks awesome! I have a glider kit waiting to be built and then a set of plans for a 30cc Yak. Your builds are a great resource!

    I've heard that saying on old movies! LOL. Wish my son was still at Hinds, I could use it as an excuse to go.

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    49dimes, I fly electric so removing the canopy is a frequent occurrence. On a slipstream 30cc RV8 I removed the blind nuts for the canopy screws and glued in magnets to hold the canopy screws. Huge improvement for me.
