RC Timer S800 clone

[rodod]

rodod, i watched your video but that little bit of play isn't what would cause the motor to fail. most motors have a little bit of play like that, better quality motors are more consistent from motor to motor with less overall play but you'll probably see that little bit of play in most all motors you'll look at.

did your S800 (clone?) handle the motor loss ok and keep flying?

It was all over the place for a little while but I was able to get it on the ground without any damage. Now, I am wondering what caused the squeal and loss of control not to mention the extreme heat of only that one motor after that flight. Kendall at UAV objects suggested I check the grub screws in the bell. I did and they are very tight. keep on investigating i guess
