Nice. Thks. I see... I fly with FMS ASW-17 since a year. I will check my servo connectors. Thks for having sharing your experience. JPhilippe. Rennes. France.
I had some RC trouble caused by HF problems around, and my FOX crashed nearly the same way. But only some litttle scratches and small repairings where nessessary to bring that rought Bird back to the sky. FMS made a good Job with theire Planes !!! Now I use 2 Frequenzy RC (2.4GHz and 900MHz simultanously) and never had any more Problems with that Beauty
.. these crappy multiplex connectors that are firmly embedded in the fuselage and wing roots!! I really can't understand why a manufacturer would create such unreliable crap. Had exactly the same problem with my FunRay...
Hi flyeruk1686 . I was a bit miffed I must say. I have since reworked the aileron connections using standard servo plugs and sockets in such a way that the wing can move a little without putting any pressure on the electrical connections and repaired the crack in the fuselage adding a coupe of carbon spars to strengthen things up a bit. . I really should have done this before I flew it having had similar problems with the Cularis . I use a go-pro 7 silver on a head strap. It does ok but of course doesn't have a zoom. I can zoom in a bit in post but of course the resolution suffers. Best wishes FDO
Hello. What was wrong? On the ground evthg was allright with rudder flaps and ailerons... What is the root cause of this crash ? Pbm with your TX? Signal Lost?😢
No signal lost at all. The root of the problem was the stupid man who put it together (Me) I should never have trusted the multiplex connections built in to the root of the wing. There was and still is a slight bit of play at the wing seat this was enough to break the connection to the servo on one wing. I have now done away with this and use normal servo connection on the underside of the wing. It doesn't look as pretty but allows a small amount of play with breaking the connection. Thank you for your comment happy landings. FDO
Beautiful plane and so pleased she ain't destroyed !!! 😉😎
Nice. Thks.

I'm thinking the left wing was not snapped in all the way & moved out breaking the connection. From what I have seen it's a common problem.
Agree
Phew that could have been soooo much worse? Good to see it flying

Sorry to see your mishap. I have the Fox 3m,had around 12 flights so far, no problems so far.
Can I ask, what camera are you using?

What flight controller are you using as the standard reflex Has no return to home function ?

I use the ZOHD flight controller. Nice and easy to fit and set up. Here is a link with more info

Oooo... Snap😢.
Not deserved.
It was a pain but she's all fixed now and has flown again. I will get another video of her once we get some flying weather..
@@foreverdroningon very much appreciatet.
Thanks for sharing.
