Thank George in Baylands in Saturday

[jinhusong]

That was first time for my son and me to try our Slow Stick. George helped us to get the SS up and saved my almost burned motor.

I picked a wrong size prop (11X4.7) for SK400XT with LiPo 3S1P and TB 18A ESC. George saw smoke and immediately turned down the thrutle and landed the plane.

My son and I went to AeroMicro and got a HiMax2812 (GWS outrunner not carried there anymore). After I got home, I ran the SK400XT with current meter and it looks OK. It got pretty hot after current got 7A.

Now we have 2 motors. I plan to run 400XT with 9X4.7 and use HC2812 with 10X4.7 as backup in case we burned it.

Well, learned a lot and hope to see George and thank him in person.

yes, George is a great help and Great teacher! a little more than 2 1/2 years ago he taught me and my and my son jacob (7 yrs old at the time) on a slow stick. Jacob has been through 100+MPH jets and now onto 3D helicopters. I hold George personally responsible for the diversion of a good chunk of our family income thanks!

Did the TB 18A ESC survive the flight? Good to hear George got it back to ground safely.

Yes, the TB 18A was not even hot.

George, as well as many others at Baylands, is a GREAT Man/Teacher!!!

Whenever I'm at Baylands, I see George, spending HOURS helping people with their planes.

Thanks George!!!

+1. George is one of a kind - very nice person, very polite and always always willing to lend a helping hand. He along with Dave helped me get up to speed when I first started out which was not too long ago. Of course most/all of the guys at Baylands are great people to know and be with!!
