The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

Been going over my CHEAP HK plane and it's CHEAP motor........

Best I can tell the motor really could not handle the current the 130c 4s lipo threw at it with the 15x7 prop. It did 3d great with that prop and was a little beast until the motor blew. Fried egg sandwich and no cheeseburger. Plane is unharmed and will do some mods over the next few days to "strengthen" things up because I CHEAP. But seriously the front of the plane is really weak and I can see multiple hard snaps to a pop top taking its toll and breaking off the front of the plane. Better yet! May be I should just get the Sig XA-41 built up Sbach? Nahhhhh I CHEAP!!!!

Captian obvious here. Likely an adhesive issue related to the heat generated. Wonder if they uses elmers white glue in Chinese factory.

We have seen this many times with motors from HK at our field

Crap motor, crap results. You get what you pay for.

Honestly, looks like a bearing went south, and then overheated and heat developed loosened the magnets.

Motor has no clue as to what it is installed in. "C" rating is how easy the electrons flow.

Ok how CHEAP was it if the motor was $50.00 and it lasted 10 minutes. Then that motor cost you $300. Per hour to run ? That more than any motor I have had the pleasure of owning. The most expensive motor I have owned is Us 41 it was good for about 5 hours then blew up and almost impossible to start. Ok the cheapest motor that I have to date is a 3W-42 bought it for $450. And it has just over 1600 hours on it yes that is correct it is old and never touched and still running low power and heavy but runs like a top. It cost me less than 30 cents per hour to fly.
