My Fan didn't last so long...
So I have exactly 17 flights on the fan I bought a while back.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...highlight=64mm Anyway, this morning I was going to put a couple more flights on. Taxied out and whammo... the blades flew off the fan before I got up to speed down the runway. Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong? Seems a little pre-mature to have fan failure on a dynamically balanced fan unit. |

Your was a 3S setup if I recall, it is hard to say as there are many variables, mainly FOD getting into the fan unit, it could have sucked something in on a previous flight and caused something to crack and that crack propagated and failed on what would have been the next flight. Good news is it can be fixed easily.

Yeah I think I just need to order a new EDO fan which I recall are fairly cheap. What about rebalancing? Should I send you the motor?

The fan is $8, you can send the motor back and I will balance it for you with the new fan.
