HOW to repair? Bae Hawk, the EDF fan flied off.
I have a Freewing Bae Hawk, which I purchased last year. It only has four flights on it so far, and a few on-ground testing... It is about 90% new, except a little bit of bend on the main gear which still functions fine though.
I am considering to fly it tomorrow which will have wonderfully calm air! I will fly in local RC club which has a run way for EDF the first time.
So I think it would be good if I measure how long it can safely run on a 4000mAh battery with 70% throttle, or 40%...
I put it on ground, nose against a pillow, throttling up... At about 2 minutes 50 seconds, I heard the running loud sound suddenly gone! Stop to check, the fan flied off the motor! what a bummer.
Here are the pictures, it is exceedingly hard to loose up the fan adaptor to put it back to the motor shaft. Any good idea?
I used a clamper to hold the adaptor, which actually damaged it, and using a wrench from another side, try to loose it up... but not working. The adaptor rotated following my wrench, despite I tried hard to use clamper to stop the rotating.
It is already damaged, I believe. I am asking here just out of curious, how to deal with this situation? thanks a lot!
