| Hi. I just thought i'd share my experience with my EP100 pro. I bought a combo from Infinity Rc this January, and have been wery pleased with this little "wasp" . It flies very well indeed!
But! with the combo i got 4 "Pico Pro"(not GWS, i think..) 4.3g servos, i am not realy shure what servos these are, but they are definatly not up to the job.
Last night me and my bud's where flying in a sports hall we rent saturday nights. Everything was fine until it suddently dropped at least 2 meters straigt down and hit the floor hard! to my suprise there was no damage, and everything seemed ok So it wrote it off as a glitch. threw it around for 'bout 5 more minutes, then BAM! It hit the floor real hard. Broke the landing gear, and stripped the main gear. Not to much dammage, so it's a tough little heli ! But, the reason for the crash was obvious this time! Both the front servos where stuck! Obviously gears stripped. The rear (elev) servo was still working, but very "notchy".
So now i ordered three GWS pico BB servos, and hope they will do a better job. I could ofcourse gone hitech 55 or simmilar, but i would like to keep the weight down.
Well, just wanted to give a heads up in case someone else is flying this combo .
Edit: Ok, this should obviously been posted in the Gaui section. Sorry... |
