I found the (real) 6x4 drew very similar amps to the 5x5 and was very slow, and very noisy. Launches are very easy as it seems like very lazy thrust, but way too many RPM's and not enough pitch speed, as it is allegedly more like 6x3.6. |

Chrome magnet ring holder for motor coming loose
Just for info. The latest Clouds Fly may have this problem with the motor. It happened to mine after about 3 weeks flying and I just saw it happen to a Clouds Fly on it's maiden engine run. The ring holding the magnets comes off or rather loose, jamming against the armature. Fix is easy enough, epoxy it back on. It may be useful to see of this chromed ring is bonded to the "plastic" holder by trying to ease it off prior to first using it.

dont change anything to the hole it fits perfect see my post post 780 and about the wings connection see post 1003 I have flew more then 50 flights with the stock version and only reinforced the stabilo , replaced the ailerons servo's , added velcro and magnets to the wings and replaced the stock motor(after 20 flights loose magnet damaged the stator) with an original one and glued the motor magnets before use. my COG is at 48mm , and using flightmax 3S 2200Mah 20C (needed to cut away a bit foam for the lipo to fit in. |

Quite a few have nominated the individual magnets coming loose. Perhaps they only have so much glue for each motor - some miss out on the ring - some miss out on the magnets |

beeping ESC
I am new to anything other than RTF planes. I tried two different RX on this plane - plugged the ESC to the reciever and then plugged in the servos for rudder and elevator just to test. When I plug up the battery....it beeps (the esc) but nothing moves when I move the sticks at all. I tried two RX and two controllers - same result.
Have you tried recalibrating your throttle? (Put your throttle full up then plug in batt, wait for two beeps then throttle down) This procedure was recommended by AJ and worked for my tower pro ESC. |

And did you plugged the ESC to the Receiver on Channel 3 as it should be? Maybe this is your problem... |

New ESC from HK.
Anyone have one of these yet?
Turnigy SuperBrain ESC. |

I see the Clouds Fly is being advertised on UK EBay for GBP89.99 all-in. It is the version with servos and ESC.
