Originally posted by F106DeltaDart View PostWell, I did the maiden flight today and things could have gone better. First hover was fine. Rotor was smooth, just needed gain tuning. On the second attempt, I got to light on gear and heard a loud bang. The H stabs, and 3 of 4 doors simultaneously departed the aircraft. I immediately hit throttle cut. When the blades came to a stop, the windshield was cracked, pieces were laying around in the scale cockpit, and fiberglass around the swashplate was chewed up. The whole center console in the cockpit has broken loose (probably contains a 1/2lb of ballast or so), and the mechanics were loose on their mountings. My theory is that that either the rear ball link on the swashplate let go, or that one of the mounting bolts actually pulled through the aluminum L mounting brackets. Both the forward swash linkages were also bent inward, likely from contact with the fiberglass. The event also delaminated several sections of plywood where the mechanics bolt on. I can get it fixed, but it bugs me that I don’t have a definitive “smoking gun”.
Might be time to do some cutting on my frames..............

Ok, I am trying to figure out something here, I bought the Roban 212 fuselage and using a Trex 600ESP, everything fit perfect and all that, I need to change my motor to a lower KV and realized my frames are 47mm and all the Scorpion motors I need and most other 600 size motors are 49mm and wider, so how did you get that Scorpion 1100 to fit in your frames, you have the Chaos 600?? which has wider frames and you bought the ARF bundle, correct?? I have the same spacers and all that like yours but is yours a whole different set of wider spacers?? I thought we would have the same spacing but maybe not. I can't fit any motors over 47mm, I just found this out this morning when I went to order my motor. Thanks

The Chaos 600 is a clone of the EFL, so I have the wider frames on mine than the ESP. I had some spacers (only a few) included with the initial kit, but most were missing. After contacting customer support, they ended up sending me a full spacer kit that worked excellent.

Okay, that is what I thought, still confused about the spacers, so your kit has the same parts as mine but yours came with wider spacers and bearing blocks? So on my kit conversion, all my spacers and bearing blocks were only 47" wide, I can't use the motors that are 49", now I got a problem trying to find a 1100 kv heli motor that will fit inside my frames. its like they made two different sets of spacers and bearing blocks.

Saw this over on RCG: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...E-600xf-1100kv. Looks to be a smaller 1100kv motor. Might be worth a try.

Thank you, I'm trying to get it from him, only bad thing is, I will have to trim the doghouse because it is a tall motor, it's taller than the normal 600 motor but I won't have to trim the frames, don't know which one I would rather do....

Ah.. personally, I’d rather trim the frames. Cutting the doghouse would be messy.
