I just rebuilt one of my helis. 450 clone. Earlier in the week, warm day (40 degrees) she flew perfect.
Took her out this morning, 17 degrees (I have never flown in such low Temps.) and noticed the responsiveness was a bit sluggish. I am using Align DS415M servos and DS420 tail servos. The longer I was out there flying (about 10 minutes) the more I noticed responsiveness decreases/problems. Kept flying until I crashed into frozen earth. Not too bad...broken landing gear, couple of linkages and the typical bent shafts.
Anyone else have similar cold weather problems. I am curious if this was the 17 degree Temp ot perhaps not.
Whatayathnk??
Cant't wait for warmer weather!!
