First Plane Buying Time!!

[BlackPhoenix]

Hey guys I found a mini super cub on ebay so I am going to buy it hopefully this weekend. If anyone has any tips for me about flying that would be great because I am a total NOOB!! at flying. I also bought a little micro gyro helicopter off ebay the other day just for fun and I have been playing around with it a bit doing the usual crashing it XD. I will post pics up of it when the supercub arrives because I'm really busy right now at school with assignments :/ So expect some photos up hopefully in two weeks. Have Fun!

Plane is payed for and bought. Now to play the waiting game :/

Make small movements with the stick when you first start out. Don't do any sudden movements like cranking it way over to turn, just gentle adjustments.

[BlackPhoenix]

Thanks Chunder I will remember that when I first fly.

If you know of anyone in your area that flies already, have them take it up first and trim it out, so you are not fighting an unstable plane.

also... best thing you can do is get a simulator, my brother spent two weeks flying a sim then flew a F-27Q stryker no buddy box or actual experience, he has flown it many times and no crash's or issues

[BlackPhoenix]

Hmmm... Plane still isn't here yet :/ Hopefully it gets here when I get back from school

[BlackPhoenix]

Woooooo! Its here!!! The plane arrived today when I got home from school I set it up quickly ran outside and launched it into the sky and it is amazing! So easy to fly as well. Was a very good maiden flight only crashed about 4 times lol. Can't wait till I get better at flying it!

[BlackPhoenix]

Ahh damn!! It's broken!! The prop on it won't spin so my dad and I had a look at it last night but cant seem to find out whats wrong. We got out the volt meter and there was no voltage at all going to the motor so somthing is wrong with it :/ Does anyone have an ideas what is wrong with it? Thanks ( I may put a quick video up to show you guys what it wrong with it. )

[Chunder]

Could be a couple things.

Firstly, make sure your throttle trim is all the way down. If it's not, the motor won't arm as a safety precaution.

It could be the ESC burnt out. If the motor was running when it hit the ground that can cause either the motor or ESC to burn out, but as there's no power going to the motor it may be the ESC. There's a plastic casing around the ESC you can pop off and look at the back where the motor wires are attached to the ESC. When they burn up, usually that area looks scorched.

Thanks chunder I will have a better look at it later tonight.

[BlackPhoenix]

Ok I had a look then and did those things and still not working :/ Now prop and flaps at the back aren't working > Why am I having such bad luck with this plane :< I may have to send it back and get a new one if I can't fix it.

[Chunder]

Your batteries are definitely good? You've tried them on a voltmeter?

[BlackPhoenix]

Yeh we did that and Its allright now everything works fine. The wall charger wasn't charging the battery at all so the battery voltage was only around 4.2v. Thanks for your help all fixed now
