spooling up with throttle hold on!!

[UH-34D]

I flew one flight with my MiniTitan this morning and all went well in both normal and idleup.A short time later I took the heli to the back of my SUV to replace the battery for another flight. I turned on my 7 CHP and made sure throttle hold was on. I plugged in the battery and heard the esc beeps. I was about to slip on the canopy when the heli came to life and started doing a mini funkey chicken in the back of the vehicle.Yikes!! I got it out of the vehicle on the ground and was able, finally, to unplug the battery.One blade ruined along with a bent flybar. Since I had the antenna down some of my flying buddies ( none of whom has ever flown a heli) speculated that my radio signal somehow got "swamped". Maybe I accidently touched some metal with my antenna, however it continued to twitch when I got it outside on the ground.:bawl What do you think really happened?

Does it have failsafe? If so make sure your thr is set to 0 for failsafe

Thanks for the reply.I'll check out failsafe. I was able to replicate the glitch or whatever on the bench in my garage this afternoon. I pulled the blades off and while the antenna was down I touched a pop can with the antenna and got the same results. I think I must have bumped the metal transmitter case with my antenna in the close confines of the suv.

be careful how much throttle you give it when there are no blades on it.

You bet Rotorhead! I was very careful about the head speed. I don't want that thing to come alive like that again and ruin a perfectly good day...

Scary stuff, one of the reasons why I always have my hands on the head of the heli when turning on the heli to go fly, Even though I always turn on Throttle Hold as soon as I turn on my radio.
