Long time listener, first time caller. Hi all, you've probably seen me spamming content around the traps but thought I'd join the fun on the official forums too.
Have about a dozen flights under my belt on the AL37. Fairly limited access to the flying field, combined with difficult (incredibly hot) weather here and other planes to fly mean she hasnt seen as much action as she would like. Absolutely adore this jet - for the record, seeing the video of james doing grass ops was the instant I clicked buy, so pleased that freewing continues to look after those of us who dont have access to tarmac. Not an everyday flyer for me as it occupies a lot of space in the ute - more a 'special occasions' jet for goldilocks temps and calm winds.
Anyway, here's how she came up in a special 'movember' Qantas livery (reference pic below). Part of the project involved learning the ropes on a vinyl cutter and doing my own decals. Another little twist on the plane was designing and printing some 737-800/NG style winglets.Comment

mshagg Welcome to the forum and Fantastic job on your AL37 mate! Looks great both in flight and on the ground. Hope you're not affected by the wildfires down under. Can't wait to set mines up and take her to the air.Comment

Has anyone had motor bearing problems? Estimated number of flights on the bird = 300. My right motor has gradually increased noise output over the last few weeks. It is now so loud, even at 1/3 throttle at high altitudes, it sounds like a screaming banshee. No more flights until the replacement motor arrives! No vibration, no visual defects on the fan blades, not running hot...cool to the touch after a flight. I even set the timing on the ESC to different values to see if that had any effect. It did not. I assume the increasing sound means a total bearing failure is imminent. The only thing I have noticed is that the noisy right engine spins down a tiny bit faster than the still-quiet left engine when I chop the throttle.
By the way...here is the link to the ESC programming manual from the MRC webpage https://www.motionrc.com/products/fr...brushless-escs The manual is here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/10...iles/fwesc.pdfComment

300 flights in two months - no wonder she requires some maintenance ! Fan not loose on its shaft and slipping at full throttle ? Trying out your clip on RF Chokes in my A-10 and F-18.Comment

Thanks - I checked the fan-on-shaft tightness...all rock solid. My 90 mm F-4 has a ton of flights on it as well, and has had no issues with its motor bearing. Just curious if the 70 mm bearing going bad is atypical from what others have experienced on other planes powered by this motor.
Here are some photos of the RF choke installation on the AL37. So far, no radio glitch issues at all with these installed. Like I said before, it couldn't hurt.
