Title: I am grounded!
Post by: troasb on August 28, 2015, 04:43:35 PM
I had a hot start with my N7 and there was green liner dust everywere, but the clutch still somewhat worked although I had to go Idleup2 to make it work properly. As I had no spare liner or clutchbell I continued flying (I had ordered parts), but I guess I shouldn't have done that. Today after some 10-15 flights after the hot start, the clutch suddenly stuck and it was impossible to start. I understood that I had wrecked the clutch. I got home and disassembled everything and sure enough, the Clutch Assembly had broken off a shoe and all of the liner was gone. I am not sure if I can still use the Clutch Bell, but I will see when I get the new one. Lesson learned; Hot start, liner dust everywhere, stop flying!

And now I am grounded as my E5 is waiting for parts, my E7se under building are waiting for shims to make the BLS275SV fit, and N7 now waiting for parts. Seems like I have to get more spare helicopters!

On the bright side.. If the bell is still good.. Ur job of cleaning off the old line got a lot easier! Lol... I had a shoe break on me last month with my N5C.. It's a pretty quick fix.. U'll be back up soon enough.

Jup, I don't have to struggle with parts of old liner and glue! Quick fix, yes and no, I live in Norway and have to order parts from USA as I cannot find anybody in Europe that keeps a full stock of Synergy parts unfortunately. Then it takes it time to get airborne again. Well, I'll have to satisfy by flying model airplanes in the meantime.

FastLad unfortunately only carries a very limited stock of Synergy parts.
