Ok I don’t what happen 2nd Flt on new X-spec I was about 7ft off ground just hovering around when the Aircraft went nose down and tilted left and that all she wrote. All you heard was Oh Sh** followed by a loud thug as my new 2nd Flt (no canopy) hit the ground I thought at fist that I lost radio butt I was able to turn it of on the ground.(by radio) It was very windy out And I was In a slow left turn. What could it have been" I know me Wright" butt I know I lost total control at one point. there was only 2 other at field that day none on my Friend said it was the wind. it was pretty windy but could the wind just take it and flip it like taht?

Something like that happened to me at birmingham this year. I just landed and was going out one more time to burn off the rest of my fuel. Then suddenly my heli nosed in and rolled. I thought it was a glitch but actually it was my reciever crystal had became loose in its mount. The impact of the crash must have jared it back in place. I didnt notice what it was until rebuilding it and it done the same thing in my shop, this time on the bench. Do a search also on PCM lockout too. Hope this helps. :arggg:
