Hey guys - two questions

1) Propeller Mod - was working and now it's not. I traced the wire and it's soldered to one of the PCB units on the light board (the ones you twist and pull out, put a light in, twist put back in). The unit it's soldered to doesn't have a blinking light (within that PCB) so I suspect it's not getting power which is also impacted the mod. Any suggestions to fix that? I have one other like that. I initially had more but I was able to get them to work but swapping out leds, black holders, etc. These two seem to be the stubborn ones! Spent about 2 hours and couldn't get these last two going.

2) POA works well - no issues reported by the system, passes test but I would like for it to turn more left (feel like it could). I feel like right now it's turning more right than left. How do you tweak that?

Thanks in advance

Remove the POA. Underneath, you will see the bracket the holds the POA. Remove it and add washers underneath the bracket to lift it up by just a hair. In your case, I would add a one or two washers to the right side of the bracket to adjust the height. That should make the turns more even. I adjusted it that way and it worked for me. I'm sure there are other ways?

So I found the issue with the plane mod - the main pin that goes into the board itself that the sockets fit into - if I press in on the main pin the plane mod works and my light works. Just a contact thing which is expected now. I'm so glad I found what the hell this was.
