Bummer, hope it is not dead.

Ah, Lake Hav, my Winter home.

just got a new replacement today from my dealer. thank god for the video, which showed motor failure...manufacture defect.

Pretty good dealer, might be worth a plug.

But I can't see how 'motor failure' has been diagnosed as the fault- from the video that is.

 

[phantom_medic]

they said that one motor and the speed controller were at fault.


empirerc.com outta AZ, USA is the dealer, took about a month turnover...but got a new baby.

 

[discv]

They were very honest with you- they could have come up with numerous pilot error scenarios.

like what?

it shows the bird just hovering, and when i turn to right it goes into a dead spin.
