My Posts This: Topic Forum | wow?do you guys actually bother reading the former posts?
it seems like despite that ALL the posts i've read in this forum so far are quite clear as to what is being discussed, the following post after each new is confused or unclear or in misunderstanding of what the former post said?
geez!  take your time, read carefully what peops are saying.
Clearly we know Align made a new hub to be stronger/better so the hubs would stop breaking in flight.
In doing this they FORGOT about the lousy material screws they were using and now because the hub is strong enough NOT to break, the screw is approaching a failure point before the hub can.
we DO NOT know what the failure point of the new hub is, OR if it will actually support our headspeed, because it HASN'T had a chance to prove itself yet due to the screws being the weakest link currently.
RCDaddy has just speculated that he thinks the NEW Align hub will continue to fail (for a completely different reason than the old hub design) once we get strong enough screws in place.
just to be sure RCD: you're thinking the threads will NOT be strong enough to keep the screws in place and will just pull right out along with the screw itself and the blade will as you said "shoot at you". ?
well, we'll see. Hopefully as you said they used a better quality aluminun (not just anodized for added strength) and the threads will hold once we put strong screws in place.
TheX, what headspeed was the Trexy running when you watched it fail? just curious?
for the record.... Duzi tail (i know some have commented on how tiny the 'hub-nubs' look that hold the blade grip screws and that it will 'break for sure'..... i've now flown it a good bit (multiple packs) and crashes for that matter (bending tail shafts, shearing CF tail blades, snapping a CF boom and breaking the horz fin)..... NONE of these incidents including running with CF tail blades and a headspeed of 3000rpm has damaged or caused failure in the DUZI slider. it seems so far that this slider, while very expensive, is worth every penny! i'm very pleased with it so far and can't believe the little parts have not bent or broken in some of the 'tail intensive' crashes i've had in the last 3 weeks.
Good Day: crashed thx to dumb thumbs. Bad Day: crashed mechanical malfunction. Every Day: CRASH :) |
