Finally got it in the air this evening and it did great. Survived several tough landings and a tumbling crash. The servo didn’t fair so well unfortunately.
Hopefully problem solved. A for effort. Paper tape and hot glue would also help reinforce the area. Nearly invisible on the AS. I have beaten mine up a bit too. Had to replace the servo.🍀🤞🏻
I like to keep them short and to the point. My body repair videos are a little longer lol. I hate watching videos that the host babbles on too much. Lol
I'm waiting for HH to restock AeroScout fuselages so I can get my plane back in the air. Prior to my crash the only issue I had with the nose gear was that the rudder/nose gear servo got busted. Replaced the broken servo with a metal gear servo and had no further servo issues.
Hopefully the stock will be back soon. I wound up with a metal based servo purely because I didn’t know what I was doing. Lol the local hobby store didn’t have the exact replacement but gave me a very similar one that is “waterproof“ and I believe it has metal gears in it. Seems to be working well.
@@mitch_s I'm thinking that equality Metal Gear servo we'll make a big difference. Having that little original servo doing both rudder and nose gear is asking a lot. I'm thinking this is especially true on grass take offs and Landings.
Yes, I disconnected the front nose wheel from the servo for that exact reason. The nose wheel is not free to travel and it only means I have to watch the rudder a bit more diligently @@BillKisel
This nosewheel problem is clearly a design problem from the get go. I have repaired mine three times, the last being a welded light steel plate and custom wheel holder made in my home machine shop. It is glued on the bottom of the body and is as sturdy as the plane allows. If it breaks a fourth time, I will simply tear the plane apart for the parts and throw it in the garbage where is clearly belongs.
Sir, this is such an inferior design, I don't think there is anything one can do re-inforce it. I custom made a small aluminum plate to glue to glue to the bottom but it tore off the first time I flew it. I subsequently broke it down for the electronics in it and threw the rest away in the garbage. I simply wrote it off a s a bad purchase

I have the same problem.. thanks Mitch! These nose repair videos are getting shorter and shorter lol.

I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
looks good what type of black glue is that?
That was from my first repair attempt. It is epoxy. If you look back at my first repair attempt video, you can see it being added there.

Any chance you could share your design? Having trouble with mine as well, could use some inspiration!
