Sea Land Air Paptor H650 XiaXiu 侠秀航模 Propeller Failure

[@hassanhammoud2243]

Yeah unfortunately that happened to me as well but I had the servo go out the first time and I had nothing but upward motion it was to the sky straight up with the servo and it kept moving forward and it never stopped the servo. And like I said I went through three of these and I just keep purchasing it I got to come up with a different solution the torque from the Finn's they just spring off the little knobs because they're literally pressed in between through little beaded slots.

Yes, the stock props can be rather fragile. They do get damaged with rough landings.

I actually maidened mine yesterday..sooo easy to fly..i am thinking og setting it up on my spectrum radio...thinking just a 20 amp esc,leaving stock motor and adding a rx/gyro that i can switch on and off...i am not sure stock setup can handle 3s..but i am sure 3s 1000 should be fine with stock motor and prop.. I know instructions say press left button 5 times to turn off gyro, i get 5 beeps but gyro stays on...have you been able to turn off gyro? Maybe plane needs to be flying..? Thanks

[@RCBobOng]

Hi, you can try 5 quick presses of the left button. There will be 2 beeps and the green led on the receiver board should turn red. It doesn't matter if the plane is flying or if the throttle is armed. I believe the stock ESC is rated for 20A and we have been flying it on 3S but everything does heat up a fair bit. Some of us has converted it to with external receiver and gyro for much better control. You may do a search over on RCGroups forum. Here is a video of 1 of us... 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/enXadHpnjZuVgsUsi=IezKZizCPSIkLoM9

Hi Bob, so it happened to you too. The propellers can't stand the load, with me already at 2s. Did your H650 survive?

[@RCBobOng]

Well, this was the only time my propeller failed completely. I suspect the root cause is due to the aileron servo coming loose and into the path of the blade tips. At that moment, I was wide open throttle (3S) and making a vertical climb, so there was a lot of forward flexing on the motor pylon.

[@Retep12]

If the BEC is on the circuit board of the H650, an additional BEC for the power supply (5V) of the two parts must be installed when replacing the flight controller and receiver, right? Which cables then go from the original esc to the new flight controller, sbus and the negative cable or just sbus? Sorry, I'm not an electronics engineer.

[@RCBobOng]

Hi, I've replied to you over at RCgroups forum. It's too much to explain here. 😊 www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=51462479&postcount=208

[@roadstar499]

Were you able to glide it down to land safely?

[@RCBobOng]

@@roadstar499 unfortunately not. 😂 I was in a vertical climb when that happened. The only way it's going to glide is straight down!

[@llledmarlll]

This happened to me twice, the first time the servo dropped and the other time the propeller simply broke. I'm using the Gemfan 51466 V2 propeller, not articulated and that's the only way I was able to take off from the water. The performance of this propeller is better than the original one.

[@RCBobOng]

There isn't much clearance on the stock propeller with the top of the servo mounting frame. With a bit of forward tail flexing under WOT, it won't take much for the blade tips to strike. On water, I just need a little more 'waterway' to take off. 😁

[@oliviersimard8179]

CAN SOMEONE JUST PLEASE TELL ME, HOW TO *&@*& CHANGE THAT PROPELLER BLADE HAHAHAH

[@propgear123]

Oof. I will keep an eye on mine bud 👍🏼hope it wasnt to damaged ❤❤❤

[@RCBobOng]

It's all glue up and flying good now. 😁 Do check on the motor mounting screws too. They do come lose after a couple of tumble landings.

[@propgear123]

@@RCBobOng thx bud will do 👊🏼

[@bro9519]

È successo anche a me😢

[@RCBobOng]

I'm sorry it happened to you. Did you manage to get some spare props?

[@lebleup]

Wow. Weak link to the Paptor?

[@RCBobOng]

If you crash as often and as bad as I do 😱, then yes, this plastic frame piece that holds the aileron servo in will break. Once the servo comes off loose, it's a matter of time before the blades will strike it.

[@lebleup]

Ahhh. So the black aileron clamp on frames came loose causing the prop blades to hit and disintegrate? Is the foam material for the ailerons ok? Or do you need to order replacement along with aileron frame?

[@RCBobOng]

I have several big crashes to the point of breaking the fuselage/wings in half. Every time I've managed to glue everything back together after some hot water treatment to get the broken foam back into shape. It will be most useful to have some spares on hand whenever you need them. I do have a complete spare fuselage with all the plastic pieces ready to go for the next big ground smack. 🤣
