YOWCH! I hate to tell you this, but I think there might be some parts of your heli that are missing. In fact, I'd wager "most".
My deepest sympathies for your loss ;)

WOW HOLY CRAPOLA! Intentionally you were trying a blade stop John?
They are very tricky, the rate at which you get the blades back to -2 to -3 ish is the key to getting em to turn, did the blade bunny ear on ya?

This one was unintentional. Routine auto at the end of flight. It was really windy, cross to the field. Mistake was I turned final and dipped the blades into the wind just as big gust hit. Ever seen 10S lawn dart? I was approaching 200 flights on this heli.
Broke one blade, main shaft, bent the swash plate and a couple of push rods, bent the battery The canopy is trash, but I have 2 coming from the painter this week. It's almost back together.

RJohn: I like how you've got the Rx mounted. Does that preclude the use of a second satellite?
I sure wish they'd not stick the connectors and antennas on so many sides of the box...

I can only use one satellite antenae. I guess you could drill a hole to get to the other one.
The Spektrum logger can be mounted, as mine is, and viewed through the canopy hole on top.

Yesterday - Learning inverted flight taking a heavy toll :( - at least the frames are good !
BTW had a oneway bearing wipe out recently on the L500 - minor smack involving blades and a few head links - ready to go but the one way a no way - not locked but not gripping either way in other words a NFW bearing :wink:
