It couldn't be my tail motor again could it?

[toonttm]

Went down to a local school sports field early to get a flight in, immediately the tail was all over the place, yesterday it was perfect...

Had left screwdrivers at home so went back and once again started resetting the prop dial, no luck, looked at tail motor (again), all ok, then noticed, the black end-cap was on a very slight angle, yup, the end cap had come partly out, motor still goes but just not well enough

So waiting on a new DD motor, how many batteries is it safe to run in a row if I want the new DD motor to last? I now have 4 lipos

(funny piece at the school, I had just got heli in the air when a kid appeared out of nowhere - hey mister, can I have a go?)

Don't you just luv them. So used to their computer games where a crash means press the reset button and you're flying again

Yup seems like just about every time I fly whenever people are around I get some knucklehead who has to talk while I'm flying, and then after a few minutes asks if they can fly it. The last guy who asked (he had 2 kids with him, he must have been 30) , after I landed I explained to him that I had about $1300 tied up in the helicopter ( I had my trex 600 at the time) he gave me this kinda blank look and asked again! So I said "Sure! you give me $1300 cash to hold and after you fly if there is no damage to the helicopter I will give it back to you."
He said " I dont have $1300!"
I said " And your not geting to crash this $1300 helicopter either."

Let the heli cool for 10 minutes after each lipo. This is due to the motors being brushed.

Good one FL
