Hi All,
Yesterday when flying my 600 I took it up into a hover then went to flip it over and noticed the heli skew quite a lot to the left as if the phasing was out.
I landed the chopper and had a look at the head as it felt as if one of the swash servos wasn't working properly and almost expected to see a link popped off.
Couldn't see anything at the time so brought the heli back to the pits for a closer inspection.
It wasn't until a colleague noticed that the swash had come out of the guide pins!
Turns out the i had jusy finished fitting a quick-uk swash to the heli the night before and because it is thinner than the align one, when the heli is not powered on it can be pushed down far enough to come out of the pin guides.
As soon as it was spotted i remembered Mattie-Lodge telling me about this on his! Doh!
Anyway no harm done and something I won't be forgetting to check next time.
