[NSRCA-discussion] AXI 5330 F3A care and feeding?

LOL Chris, thats a good one :)

I have never experienced the need for maintenance, run it until something fails!, then replace it/get it repaired....thats pretty much all you do with electrics.

Small items to check...

- Sealed bearings will start to emit black goo inside your plane as they fail, so not a bad idea to poke your head up in the nose and see if you have any of that stuff, which would indicate you may need to replace a bearing.
- connectors should be kept in good shape, if you use bullets you should check to make sure there is good contact in the socket with no arcing....the socket will be blackened if there is, replace if you see anything like that.

That's really about it.

Anthony:



I think you are suffering from the remnants of
glowmotorus-fixus-constantantus.  The e-world had no comparable
affliction. The number one problem there is boredom when you get home
and have nothing to do.



Ok, before I get slammed, I am just poking fun. To the question, I
don't think that anyone has brought this up before and I don't remember
if the Axi has sealed bearings or not. If not, I'm sure a drop of oil
on the bearings won't hurt anything and if they are sealed, then you
really have nothing to do.



As Mike said, easy on the packs for a few flights at first.

        Is there any maintenance either preventative or otherwise
that needs to be done to the AXI 5330? For example, if it has sat for
an off season does it need to be lubricated or anything like that?

        

 Thanks
