Learn to Fly 3d RC Helicopters

Ok.. been flying this little heli for a while now stock.. and for a micro is goes well.. plenty of power.. I cant both elevator and aileron tick toc.. as well as even piro flip it... Tail holds reasonable in a funnel.. but the tail is a bit inconsistent during some of the piroing moves... The stock AS3X is stick programable, or via telemetry if you have a DX9.

Anyway then came along the msh with the micro brain, which of course meant there was a micro ikon. Thanks to @BladeBandit at ArkRc I picked one of these bad boys up as well as some Zeal blades and lynx tail...
Question? Motor Smelt Burnt
E5 came down with a burning smell on the weekend. I removed the canopy a caught a waft of burnt smell.

Motor was no hotter than usual but taking a good sniff both @hardys and myself could detect that burn smell.

Four more flights and the smell had faded and was never as strong as when I first smelt it.

Should I be worried?

Regards
Stu
Was looking at Google Earth at our flying field and noticed that the image was taken while me and my truck were there. How funny is that.

Dearest HGF, I have ordered a DT 520 and a V-bar NEO with the bailout function. How do I break the news to my better half?
Not me....my helicopters. My fleet will be getting a performance makeover tomorrow after I`ve finished flying. My two TSA 600Ns will be getting new GV-1 governors, and my TSA 600E will be getting a brand new set of BK 7001HV cyclic servos. So I`ll be a busy girl tomorrow afternoon and hopefully, I can have them all setup and ready to test fly on Monday afternoon after work. :)
