My heat gun has melted the insulation on pairs of wires within heat shrink before, causing a short. You may find heat was the problem rather than the liquid tape.

Yes or it melted the liquid tape. But I was careful with the heat.

The 3d blades didnt make the heli shake. But i did hit the grass, , no damage, and still no,shake, its really helping me with orientation and extra stick time.

Wierd
Ok my nano was acting like the bateries were toast...main rotor and tail rotor were spinning slow..Then the main rotor totally stopped and wouldnt spin up..
I tested baterys they were fine took out main motor and it was fine then i reinstalled motor pluged in all the motor and servo connections and now it flys better then it did out of the box 2x the power i had to add expos just to fly it in my house what would have cuased this? any idea <edit> Allso right out of the box it would need the batery pluged in like 2-3 times to get light to go solid...now it works first time every time I hate when i fix something but have now idea how it was fixxed lol |

You may have tightened the feathering shaft nut too much. Back it off until there is a hair width of end play. Also, make sure main gear is pushed all the way up.

I had a similar (sort of) situation with my mCP-X that wound up being an old main motor. So I tried this: - unplug tail rotor, power up normally, throttle up -> result = same problem/loss of power - plug tail back in, unplug main motor, power up normally, throttle up -> result = no problems - plug main motor back in, power up normally, throttle up -> result = problem returned So, from this I surmise that either my motor is toast after only about _maybe_ 15 - 20 flights (and I'm a noob and just starting into 3d) or something's wrong with the 3-n-1's ESC. Any thoughts/inputs on this? Before I go spend money on a new main motor or submit a service request, etc. I'd like to see if there's anything else I can try. Thanks in advance for your help/ideas.

The other instances are broken wire connected to the battery. It can be anywhere on the wire. If you have a multimeter, use the continuity test on it and wiggle the wire as you have it hooked up on your multimeter. The most common place is actually near the point where the batter wires are soldered to the board, or the point where the wire is soldered to the connector. These seem to be the weakest points. On crashes, the landing gear would sometimes stretch them causing damage to give intermittent issues. Servo wires are similar, particularly the elevator servo. The dab of glue that re-inforce the attachment of the wire to the servo sometimes mask the broken wire or bad/broken solder connection. Again, I'd simply resolder to fix. Hope this helps as places to look. |

It all makes sense now: the symptom was that only the motors would lose power, the servos continued to chatter like they normally do, but the Rx status light would go out. What was happening was that the Rx was losing signal and going into fail safe mode. As soon as it vibrated and reconnected long enough it would re-establish link and come back. As I'm travelling and don't have a soldering iron handy I have been able to loosen the wire off the canopy pin enough and gingerly bent the antenna wire such that it is under constant tension such that the solder joint is on a good spot. So it flies... well enough. The kicker was that I went and bought a new main and tail motor just to find out they weren't the problem . Oh well. Hope this is of use to some others here on the thread. I'd consider returning the heli to Horizon, but then I'd be without my heli and I can probably do the repair myself. Thanks all for your help! J |

Hang on to that main motor. You will need another one eventually!

My nano spools up but only to what sounds like 2/3 normal head speed in idle up even at zero pitch and then will rev up to the correct rpm for 5-8 seconds then kick back down and soon as I somewhat load the motor up the main board shuts down.
It has about 30 something flights and the batteries I'm using are the the stock eflite ones all new when I bought the ncp so its not the batteries. I'm guessing its the main motor? Any ideas? If others have had the same issue then info about it should be added to the first post. |

Yes, sounds like the motor is going. You might call HH, as 30 flights is pretty short and some people have gotten new motors from them, both for original and replacement motors failing early.
While 30 flights is too short, 100 might be average. Expect to feed this thing a steady diet of motors. |
