Issue with Motor Stick

[Cherry123]

Hi,
We have built the 2026 helicopter, but when we are testing it out, it keeps hitting and getting tangled with the motor stick and thread and it ends up breaking. What is the solution for this? I have attached the picture of the helicopter, please let if there is anything wrong with the helicopter that is causing the problem?

Good job getting your Heli built! Pictures don’t actually attach to the forum anymore. You can store the picture in Google Drive or similar, verify that it is shareable, and include the link here for us to view. Pretty much need the picture to help. I think that you’re referring to the rubber motor getting twisted in the truss, but not positive.

Have you watched the NFFS rubber winding and Heli launching video? It might answer your question as it demonstrates proper handling of the Heli.

Keep asking questions.
