Re: Main motor keeps burning

Rob,
I've got two Heli's. One an Eagle 50 (motor burning) and the other an E sky belt CP.
Between the both of them, I haven't got a total of 5 Min's air time.
The Belt CP looks more promising though, even though right out of the box, 2 of the servos were faulty. Lucky I checked them out first. I believe that one was a RTC (ready to crash) unit, and not the RTF that I ordered.
The other one, I checked out everything too. With learner's gear on (4 table tennis balls), I tried out the controls on the ground first with the blades spinning. Lean to the left, OK. Lean to the right, OK. Tilt back, OK. Tilt forward, OK. Switch the tail slightly to the left, then right, OK. I'm now ready to lift off and hover. I raised the speed of the blades a little at a time, nothing happens, until that last gradual increase. She took off like a bullet. Needless to say, I panicked, but quickly recovered, but it was too late. Crash. Since then I've been having these burning issues (the motor that is).
Ken
