  • Crashed the 600 inverted

    Bum !


    Thought I'd got off lightly, just a link popped and bent rod - quick fix in the field and flew it again.

    But now the Beastx is tipping left, gonna have to strip it now and see if the main shaft is bent.

    My guess is that you've striped the servo arms. I've done it loads of times. The align plastic ones strip really easily, they save your servos at the expense of the servo wheel.

      sometimes the best way to crash is on the head. lol as long as you aint piling it in, 3 or 4 times with the 600 i have gotten to low and clipped the deck only to find a link has popped off. I caught the tail earlier today doing the lowest flips i have ever done and all i did was strip main gear and front torque tube gear, I managed to get it upright and safely on the floor.

      We must be getting better

            Either the servo arms or a link has been pulled, is the swash still level Mark in the servo centering stage on the setup
