It's quite possible the coils of the motor itself are worn out or the bearing is shot. Especially the microsized ones tend to heat over time and erode the wires. The smaller motors are essentially considered disposable, and they'll usually last abut 24 or so hours of actual operation time before they start breaking down. That being said, if thats for a tail motor, and you have hit anything with it at all, there is a chance you impacted the internal coil and tore something up inside. Easiest way to test would be to get a new motor. if it still doesn't work then its the logic board and you are buying a replacement board.

What make / model helicopter is it, or failing that, what size is the motor (lenght, width, etc), and how long is the tail boom.

Most of them come pre threaded in the tail boom, and you replace the whole unit for the smaller ones.

Given a vertical tail shaft and gears, you might also want to check the gear allignment and make sure the gear case isn't split at the bearing end enough to let the gear skip away from the other gear when power is applied.

Red comet

That's the impression I got.

:D

POIDH!

We don't get this kind of news. Your country's postal system going down the tube kinda passed by the rest of the world.

then again, I estimate you weren't all that au fait with the tuition fee protests a year and a half ago beyond the fact that "they happened"

ERMAHGERD!

edit: Legion drop. That'll be expensive as f*ck for a few months then.

I'm feeling the no internet blues too. A storm a few days a go fried my modem and the new one won't be here until Tuesday. Luckily The Witcher 2 is freaking awesome, it's been helping to take the edge off.

Move it to the head of the list.

that is at least doubly appropriate as a GRE word. @#%^ing GRE. captain drunk monk perfect SAT score, magna cum laude here only got like 70th percentile on that @#%^ing demon verbal. god damn.

yeah, the math was embarrassingly @#%^ing easy. i didn't get a perfect score on it, but i'm also "not a math guy".

as for the writing portion, i know the emotion i'm supposed to feel about this is shame/abasement and not pride, but i was actually angry at them for not giving me a perfect score. i'm not sure who i said this to, but when i found out i didn't get the maximum score, i (in full sincerity) opined that i should be grading them, not the other way around.

You need a reason to rate up a drunk Pahn post?

Inasmuch as I need a reason to rate it up and then publicly justify doing so, yes. Otherwise, Pahn could get drunk and be all sdfatfe dtdysde\RD GDFAHYWTSRADGHTRAYRE we BUTTS and so Regular Drunken Pahn would end up being no different from Intellectual Drunken Pahn. And that would be boring.

I just got a Speed Belt while getting my Wyrm Beard. Apparently this game loves me loads.

man, i accidentally all the beer that night.

I STILL DONT HAVE INTERNET.

It's been about 2 months now without home internet provider. THEORETICALLY it should be next week.

Aside from that, I got a new phone today. Xperia S. So very smexy. I can finally tether internet too, so I have 2gb to play with until my internet arrives. Feelsgoodman.

WHAT GAMES SHOULD I DOWNLOAD ON NEW PHONE?! 1.5GHZ DUAL CORE PROCESSOR OMG. Also unusual app recommendations come at me, bro.

Also hi.

I spent two days sleeping outside in the rain with nothing but a poncho and a sleeping bag to keep me alive, a night sleeping at an airport, and now in a room that could better be described as a shoe closet for midgets for the rest of the week till Monday. I have no fucks pity to give.

If you chose an answer at random, what are your chances of getting this question right:

A) 25%
B) 50%
C) 0%
D) 25%

That's a really interesting proposition -- are those percentages there the answers to the hypothetical question, or answers to the bigger question around it?

If the percentages are part of the question that the question's asking you about (whoa, meta!) then you have a 50% chance of being right if it's 25%, and a 25% chance of being right if it's either of 50% or 0%...

I'm actually really intrigued by this one now.

Ron Paul.

Clearly, the problem with my understanding lies in the wording of the question being weird and unclear.

what's interesting is that you can't get it right, so one could argue that 0% is right. what this means is that there's a sentence that's true, but can't be asserted. the amazing consequence is that language cannot prove all of its true statements. one thing this means is that language is not (and cannot be) a perfect mirror of the world.

in other words, language cannot correspond to reality the way, say, code corresponds to the behavior of a computer. it's as if you had a syntax and semantics that

1) allowed you to form 5 commands, each with a unique result,
2) but the whole system had 6 possible results,
3) none of which correspond to any of the 5 commands, nor any combination of them,
4) but nonetheless all can be achieved on this "computer" (or turing machine, or whatever).

godel's incompleteness theorems (that sufficiently strong formal languages, for example arithmetic or even the most basic forms of classical logic, either can express truths that cannot be proven, or they can prove things that are in fact false) and the liar's paradox are interesting when you think about philosophy of language, but they're a real mind @#%^ if you bring the idea of turing machines / computers. if syntax and logic can invade the physical world in the form of programming, what about self-referentiality?

at least i think it's interesting. not interesting enough to study (i only care about language; i don't care about computers or metaphysics), but interesting.

----

oh, the reason i was going to respond: you should take a logic class (2 actually, since classical logic = should be required education for everyone, and intermediate logic--stuff like 2nd order logic, constructing formal languages via inductive definitions and proving sh*t about the natural numbers, godel's incompleteness theorem--gets to the meat).

it's especially interesting if you're interested in programming. you'll see why us logicians are so weirded out by programming... to me, programming always seems backward... instead of explaining, i'll just say that it should give you insight and trail off.
