CRASHED FMS 1220MM RANGER RC AIRPLANE CANT BE FIXED

[@robertlawrence6606]

Thanks for the info! I recently purchased this plane for water training @ my pond. The funky front wheel shouldn't get much use :)

[@robertlawrence6606]

BTW I didn't find this video too long like some others said. You covered alot of useful info that I know is going to come in handy when I'm working on mine.

Be glad you don't have arthritic hands trying to do these tasks, lol I always magnetise a screwdriver before attempting it helps 😂love your videos. Very informative and helpful!

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

I agree with you

[@capnhardway]

@@GRIFFINRCPLANES I wish these would do like facebook 😂 thumbs up 😂

Mate did it at club for me, it's a small hex screw in the nose wheel push rod he adjusted that it was really easy after I put the wheel bach on. The same size and type black screws fasten the rods to the floats.

[@angelanbrentenlowndavis2949]

I was curious as to how that wheel came off. I only plan to fly mine from water and will save an ounce or so of weight. Great job on your videos and keep up the good work..

More great explanations Sean. Thanks

Thanks for the info, i hit hard the other day and my spring way worse than this, had to order a new one.

[@capnhardway]

You think you can un twist the sprung spring? On a vice? 👍

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

I supose I could un twist it. But that part cracked and the spring bent we will just install a new one

[@capnhardway]

@@GRIFFINRCPLANES gotcha

[@txkflier]

The way the nose gear spring is wound, the spring will expand when you try to twist the top and bottom parts clockwise and get tighter. If you twist them counter-clockwise, the spring will shrink and get looser which might allow you to reposition the ends or remove them altogether. Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.. 😎

[@capnhardway]

I thought the same if you go slow you might be able to open it a little..

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

We will mess with it and see if we can fix it that way. If so then he will have a spare

[@capnhardway]

@@GRIFFINRCPLANES that was my thought, you have to wait anyway, it works you have an extra!

FMS shipping is a huge rip off. I was ordering a decal sheet. $12.99. Then they wanted almost $20 to ship because it was going in a box so not to damage it. No way I would pay that. So I then added a prop to the order and the shipping dropped down now to $9. Go figure.

Sean, This video is to long for what you showed. Not your best work by far. Idea and problem solving is good just too long. to get to the end point. Out of all the videos I watched that you have made this one is the worst. Being honest and truthful cause I like most of your work.

[@capnhardway]

I'm sure others will disagree.😮

[@tughillrc6327]

@@capnhardway Everyone is different, thats what makes this hobby so good. If you create content for You Tube and have been doing it for a few years Then you look at videos different than lets say a normal viewer. So others will always disagree with anything. At least I am not afraid to be honest about my view.

[@GRIFFINRCPLANES]

I'll take the constructive advise . We win some and loose some

[@tughillrc6327]

@@GRIFFINRCPLANES Thats good Sean, I just feel it could had been better for the amount of effort to create it. I am by no means a expert just someone who appreciates the videos you have done up till this one.
