It Flies!
Many mornings when we look out the kitchen window, we see this bunny eating in the same spot just South of the shop. I have looked, but I don't see anything special about that patch of grass. I got the quad with the new flight controller going today. It fought me for a while until I updated the firmware and then found out I had one channel reversed in the transmitter. After I got the quad flying, I decided to fix the mower deck, it has been making lots of noise and I had new mandrels for it. I also found one idler pulley that had bad bearings and was probably making most of the noise. I didn't have a new one, but I found one in the drawer that was better. Sometimes it pays to save that old stuff! A couple of the mandrels were not in that great of shape, so I changed all of them and sharpened the blades. I ordered all new idlers tonight. I mowed about half the lawn to check it out and the deck is much quieter. I had time enough after that to get in the three flights on the little quad and one more on the one with the new flight controller.
