I decided to take my Trex 550 flying tomorrow for the first time since I crashed it over the 4th of July. So, today I decided to spool it up without main and tail blades. At about 50% throttle the motor started shaking terribly. I pulled the motor out and apart and two of the magnets had shifted causing it to be way out of balance.

Luckily I had a spare here. It's not the same size, but basically the same performance specs. It took a little work to get it in, but I tested it and it's as smooth as silk at all throttle settings. Tomorrow we'll see if it still flies.
