| I think is most cases, the carb barrel gets loose from its horn. A ball link in a resonably good condition would never come off. So the case that a spring on the horn would work is very remote.
In my opinion a mod that would increasesafety would be to secure the horn on a hex shaped barrel, or to make the barrel and the horn one piece.
I have experienced this problem twice(horn sliping on the carb barrel) on a raptor and on a GPH. In the first case I had a crazy raptor buzzing for 1 minute with me wandering what I could do then it tipped and broke the usual rotor parts (blades, shaft, spindle, flybar.....).
The second time I knew better. I went to the radio menu, reversed the throttle and then reversed it again and it idled....
Unfortunatelly the raptor was mine and the GPH wasnt...
The raptor's engine was right out of the box, and I was braking it in! Never thought of tightening the horn's screw! |
