First 550 (HK550FBL). Really excited to start the build. I still need to order some batteries and Align parts. Waiting on the rest of my elec, a canopy and some other stuff to arrive
(I already have the servos, Rx pack and the ESC)

What did you dooooooooooooo!!! Sorry to see dude! Hope you get her fixed up and continue flying. Looks like one of my first BIG crashes, except i wrote the whole heli off.

BTW check your servos 100% before you fly again..

Servo came out of the beastx causing an uncontrollable roll that I couldn't save. Have checked servo gears and they are all fine

well they are align servo's since you are taking the heli apart for a re-build, spend the 5 extra min and take each servo apart and check the gears.. BEEN here done this trust me !!

Always a shame to see a heli like that.. Did you have hot glue on the plugs?

Hot glue on the plugs? I've never heard of that. Interesting tho and now I'm curious.

you glue the top so the plugs don't come out..

I do this on all my helis. Never had an issue. I do one line across all the plugs. It holds them in place and it still peels off when it has to.
