Help with head "wobble" on N7 ...

[Chief58D]

Could use some help diagnosing the head "wobble" on my N7 ~

I currently have 15 flights on the new N7.
Governor speeds (Normal / Idleup 1 / Idleup 2) are 1550 / 1850 / 1900. Since I'm still (re) learning, I've been taking it easy on my flights, and spending the majority of my time in Normal doing basic circuits and hover practice.

Initially, there was a very slight wobble in Normal, which pretty much went away after a few flights. Blade track & tail were very smooth. Wobble was a bit more pronounced in Idleup, but seemed to smooth out when transitioning into forward flight.

Decided to try a low hovering auto yesterday, and unfortunately I rolled the N7 on touchdown (note to self - keep the frickin' cyclic steady when touching down from an auto!! ). No apparant damage other than some dirt on the blades; checked everything out, and flew it again.

I now have a VERY slight, continuous vibration in Normal hover, with a very slight but noticeable difference in the blade track. However, when switching to Idleup 1, the vibration levels increase rather dramatically - enough that I didn't even try switching to Idleup 2. Crap! Switching back to Normal reduced the vibration levels back to where they were before switching flight modes.

So, I figure I have some teardown work ahead of me, and could REALLY use some pointers on where to begin! Keep in mind that I did not build this one - the heli team at a LHS took care of that for me - but I figure I might as well dig in and start getting my hands dirty!

Any pointers, lessons learned, etc. would definitely be appreciated -
Thanks in advance!

I see Jason has stepped up to help with this on the Synergy Forum.

I agree with Jason, sounds like a bent spindle from the roll over.
