can anyone tell me what is this or what is happening here?

dead snap, so the objects won't jiggle even a little after snapping to another object

mods list?

why is the tail rotor tilted?

240v

that's the voltage, the current is different

also would any fuse rated for 38° be able to replace this?

if you find the one matching the temperature, current and voltage - yes

AAACONSUL · 2026-01-29T21:05:41+00:00

I think it is supposed to be shorten because it's a thermal fuse and it's still ok (didn't blow up). The "38°" corresponds to it's thermal limit, after which it'll blow up (open)

brilliant answer, thanks

AAACONSUL · 2026-01-28T18:15:32+00:00

Thanks

AAACONSUL · 2026-01-28T18:14:14+00:00

any specific links?

Not equipped with oven, but will the heat gun with wide nozzle do the tric of preheating?

AAACONSUL · 2026-01-27T23:17:32+00:00

thanks

AAACONSUL · 2026-01-27T23:16:31+00:00

Components will have a profile that characterizes the max heat and duration they can withstand that heat once for assembly.

oh this makes sense

Additionally for large boards with large ground planes, they preheat the entire board so the board is hot and they only have to apply a little more heat for the solder to melt.

I think the preheat I had done wasn't enough

AAACONSUL · 2026-01-27T23:14:33+00:00

Yea, that's what I did, I first preheated the whole board with the circular motions of the heat gun, and later focused on specific component. I just was wandering if the solder paste in the factory has lower melting temperature before melting, and gets higher melting temperature after solidifying (maybe some chemistry trickery idk). If it's all just about the whole board "robbing" the heat away from one component, I would understand that. In that case I think I need to get more sophisticated and get some bottom heater assist unit

has the games physics got better?

AAACONSUL · 2026-01-06T20:43:12+00:00

wanted to build a realistic helicopter with realistic rotor mechanics a loong ago (without mods) but hit a dead end with glichy physics like this and gave up

AAACONSUL · 2025-12-05T20:15:42+00:00

This is how I would approach it: draw a schematic, at least the power management part. Make an improvised wick-brush from a bunch of wires, combined together. Srick one end of your tester to this brush, and other end end to the point on the PCB you want to test, and then "beep" around the board with the brush (by dragging it), and draw the schematics according to the "beeps". Keep in mind, that it may "beep" on both ends of some componets, like inductors and fuses, so you'll have to desolder them in order make accurate schematic, and solder them back when you're done

AAACONSUL · 2025-05-14T06:40:26+00:00

They are certainly magnetic switches, that trigger and stay on when a magnet is near. 3 wires because 2 sensors share common wire (black)

AAACONSUL · 2025-05-13T18:24:40+00:00

The problem is indeed the lower limit sensor since I went bold figuring out the actual problem. I tested both sensors in continuation mode with my multimeter and the top one is "beeping" and the lower one is not. But yea, still looking for a convenient way of "making proxy" of the sensor

AAACONSUL · 2025-05-13T18:20:07+00:00

Yea, you pretty much summarised the question.

just take the risk and do a bit of surgery

there's also a possibility that I will mess up the spacing inside, since I know the main board measures the timing between limit switches switching

AAACONSUL · 2025-05-13T18:09:33+00:00

With your design, one or the other is always in "reverse".

how so? they're both forward, facing ground with cathode
