 |  Blade mSR problem?
Hi all just got a blade mSR, great little heli but on the first day of its life it started cutting out (loosing all power) this happened mid flight on about forth or fifth flight, i tried putting a fresh battery in it and re binding it but every time i increase the power it cuts out. Any one had this problem? It seems like a battery conection problem but is only an issue when higher current is been drawn. It has not had any crashes and I will be sending it back for warranty just thought i would see if any one has had this problem before. Cheers Chris

I have not had that problem yet, but I have found the weak link - it's the tail motor. I popped the endbell off the first one somehow(good luck trying to put it back on), and the second one seems to have bound up or something. Now it will only be flyable for about 30 seconds and then the tail rotor doesn't have enough power to keep the heli from torquerolling. Of course, next to the 5-in-1 unit, it is the most expensive part, too

hello, i had the same problem with mine. unplug the tail rotor from the 5n1 unit and it should run till the battery dies. as soon as it got hot it would short out . mine is in the shop now to have the tailmotor replaced.

In the shop? It's like a 5 minute replacement procedure... I hope I can just replace the tail assembly one more time and not have any problems. I've hit a few things with this heli and so far the tail motor is the only thing that has broke so I shouldn't be complaining. By the way, these things are a BLAST in a 60,000sq.ft hangar!!!

Thanks guys done some more investigation thismorning and diconnected the tail rotor, all good not cutting out so i had a closer look at the tail rotor motor and the backing plate had poped out i poped it back in and seems ok at the moment, i will "let it develop" and see how it goes. Best part is i have somthing to fly in the house while it is blowing a gale out side. Cheers Chris
