Hi all,
I have been out flying my Raptor 30 this afternoon in a very snowy, cold field, where the temperature was -6, on landing after my first flight, i noticed the tail belt had come loose, so i adjusted the boom making sure the belt was the set at right tension & tightened everything back up, then started the heli & took off for my second flight, whilst hovering about, the heli started making a horrible noise & the belt came loose again, which spun the tail leaving the heli pointing nose in resulting in me doing a panic landing & trashing the usual blades, flybar, feather shaft etc.
Now i suspect the cold had something to do with the metal boom contracting, however does anybody else have a problem with their booms constantly working loose?
Thanks,
Daniel.![]()
