Mike:
20 flights?  seems very odd indeed.  Do you have any reason to believe the motor is running hot or in some way contributing to the loose magnet?  Any evidence of motor flex & magnet strike?

What size prop?

Igor: thanks for the link.  I thiought youmentioned that you were using a special wind of the 2826?

I had the same problem on my first AXI 2826/10.  I never found a US source to fix it, so I pulled it apart and fixed it.  Still in use today.
  Bob Hunt told me to get my AXI motors from Hobby Lobby in Tennenssee,
as they will warranty what they sell.  Bought my last one from there.

Hi Rudy:

I tried to get the motor from HL International but they are like permanently out of stock. That was why I asked recently if they were still being imported. A flying buddy who had obtained several 2826-10s from Tower Hobbies a year ago took pity and provided me with one. Tower seems not to handle them any longer, as far as I can tell. Normally I would just send it to Tower, but if they have no replacements that won't help much.

My concern about repairing this one is that if I overcooked it somehow and weakened the epoxy, it may shed another magnet at a later, more catastrophic, moment like at the top of the clover.

I may have to give Scorpion or Hacker a try, as they seem readily available and have a good reputation. I have a replacement from my overgenerous buddy so can still fly, but want to have a backup motor at least.

And I was born in 1947, about the time electricity was invented.

Hi Mike,

HL will have the AXI motors in stock in early Feb., you can place your Order now if you want to wait a few weeks. The Hackers are very good. At the AMA EXPO a few weeks ago 90% of the indoor RC flyer's were using Hackers, I have used them in ERC for many years. I like the ECL size Hackers for many reasons, one of them is that they come stock with a lightweight FAN already installed. ...... I have not used the Scorpion, but I have heard good things about them and they look like they have addressed the cooling issue too.

There is a thread somewhere here where someone found that there was no repair station for any of our E motors. At their relatively low price I can understand why no one would try it as a business model. It is much easier for distributors to just replace one for us. Using a good, heat resistant epoxy should work for the home repair, others have done this. I'm just too lazy to try the repair.
