Very sorry for your loss mate.

Not sure if this was the problem but you really need to clean the x50e spindle end-threads well as there seems to be a lot of machining oil on them. I just used some rubbing alcohol and rolled up bits of paper towel to clean mine (plus the end-bolts) before loctiting them in.

I do this with all my helis and with the exception of my original version mcpx I've never had any mainblade ejections, touch wood!

Cheers,
