... forget to use Locktite.
Today I flew my beloved G 200 and I thought it had a "new sound" to it.
Brought it down for inspection, but could not find the reason.
Less that one pack later, I lost my tail fin in flight. I was able to land it in the grass - before I had quite realized what had happened - and no harm was done.
Yesterday, when I was fiddling with the heli, I realized that I had put the tail fin on backwards, and as I had my little screwdriver near by, I thought, why not make the tail right, right away. But - low and behold - I "forgot" all about Locktite.
(Wasn't near by)
On this little heli, never forget Locktite anywhere because it will vibrate itself to pieces before you know it, as it did when I first installed the metal tail upgrade, and did not let the Locktite "dry" or harden.
