Hurricane Maintainence 300 flights


















My flight logger of early setting with 7sA123, 600L 1600kv,14T, 61T/ 61T, 515mm carbon setting. Flight time 4.5 mins 3D. Voltage 20V, Amp 54A. My latest setting has power 1100W.

The swashplate has much free play at the central ball and the bearing. The central ball/hub freeplay is cured with thin CA (Do not do this if you are not sure). I am still thinking a non-destructive way to pull out the bearing.

The free play at the plastic tail grip (between bearings and the grip) is cured with some CA as filler. Actually, the stock tail set holds quite well even in funnel, fast backward and piro-flip.

Finally, I replace a Trex600 thrused tail grip and hub. What I need is a carbon tail blades to fit the stronger tail grip.

The copper tail slider hub needs replacement. The original copper slider has no thread. Since it still holds well in 3D, I do no change it.

The plastic main grip shows much freeplay and needs to put some CA at the outter bearing case to fill the gap before putting it back. The CNC rotor Hub shows some free play and needs some loctite. The dampener O-ring and spacer replaced.
