Wearing in the lepton

[EndarkenD]

Hi guys, i have my lepton up and hovering and i am learning to fly, I have had a good 10 runs in there air and no crashes. a couple of hardish landings. After a hard landing tonight, I was getting used to flying side on, I noticed the belt going to the tail was lose compared to the instructions, is it normal for it to stretch or should i buy a new belt.

the heli flys like a dream even with a lose belt just makes a noise. ill await a reply before looking at adjustments....

Had this happen to me on a bit of a harsh landing as well. As long as everything looks good I would just readjust your belt tention and go practice some more.

Yea make sure that belt is real tight, so it doesn't skip on you. For some reason, you have to really run a tight belt on this machine relative to other belt-driven copters.

Don't run the belt really tight - it will drain power

The Lepton belt does need to be tensioned from time to time (every 3 months?)
but you will hear it slap the inside of the boom because the boom is a small diameter
