OK, this is frustrating. 20 some odd flights and the thing’s rear motor is going out. There is a dead spot in it, so, somethings on a hard right yaw, the motor does not start back up and it spins into the ground, breaking… more stuff.
I did manage to get in some good practice on the day before though:
WATCH VIDEO: MadHawk 300 Hover Practice
So I’ve started to research updates to this rear drive issue, and the lack of power in the main motor (seems to be losing power, turning freer than it should.. seems like it cooked too, too much hover practice and not enough cooling airflow?).
At any rate, I found this info on the Walkera 180 (same heli, different brand name) that might get me a really sweet flying ‘learner’ heli for friends and family.
I got this info off the RCGroups forum [LINK]:

Here is another thread [LINK] with similar solution. It might be overkill for what I want to do.
