Wing problem with IRIS

Posted by Connor on October 3, 2014 at 1:16pm

Hello all,

I have had one accident with IRIS where I did not properly screw the nuts down, a wing flew off mid flight, and IRIS crashed. I since replaced the broken wing and had a few successful flights. However after a few short flights directly after tightening the nuts, a wing flew off again in the same manner resulting in a crash. Is it possible that the nuts got loose after multiple flights? Will making sure the nuts are tight after every take-off ensure this does not happen again?

    Blue loctite is pretty good too. But still check.
    good luck

    If you talking about props use these and you won't have to worry about them loosening.

    Yes, and yes. try and check everything that can come loose before you fly. I know there have been quite a few people who have had the telemetry antenna come loose and fall down into the path of the propeller.

    Yes,

    I check them before every flight.
