B-36

My plan today was to fix the B-36, and I did!  Last summer when I took it out the right outboard motor would not run so I did not fly it.  There is lots of wiring in the center section of the wing, but the motors are wired up in pairs and the problem ended up being the yellow speed control for the right motor was bad.  I had a spare, so I disconnected the wiring and then hooked up the new one temporally to make sure it cured the problem, it did and I started soldering things up.  After a break to ice the foot, I finished it up and then calibrated the new speed control.

I put in a couple of flights with the quads this afternoon, when I put the HP450 out to fly, one motor would not run, so I flew the APM again.  I took the HP450 back in and hooked a spare motor which ran.  As I was changing the motor I found a broken wire and after repairing it, the old motor ran fine, so I plan on putting it back in.  I noticed the boot wasn't feeling right, so I looked at the picture I took the first day and the inner part had slipped back.  I adjusted it back to where the picture showed and it felt better.
