Re: When helis gone wild
Sounded like something was loose, like a hub wasn't set screwed properly or a belt wasn't riding properly on sprockets, or gear mesh wasn't right. Maybe a bit of blade tracking issue too? Wierd mix of high and low pitch issues. Don't think it was a gov issue. Sounded very much mechanical to me. Sorry it ended that way.

Re: When helis gone wild
Thank you Paul for that information. You were right about belt being loose. Upon inspection tail boom was loose from the holder. Nice call. I should have her up and ready for tomorrow night flight. I have all the parts in stock

Re: When helis gone wild
Yeah it does suck Derek but I new better. I should of went with my first choice instead I went with my second choice and you see what happen 
Well after pulling the frame out of the shell and notice the tail boom loose from the holder, I went ahead an took apart the DFC head. The thrust bearing on one side, the balls fell out 
While she was being dissembled, the usual stuff was replaced and then some. She's ready for a test flight now before going into the shell. I want to make sure it's all good. I'm glad I went ahead took her apart, maybe she'll last a little longer her next time out

Re: When helis gone wild
Help please. I got the 450scale heli going but my settings aren't right . I'm running 10T on a Align 450MX with HW 60A ESC. Normal settings are 0,25,50,75,100 stunt 1 @70 across and stunt 2 @75 Across. My blade pitch is @ 12 degrees. Any advice appreciated https://youtu.be/DDbNUnq8WMQ

Re: When helis gone wild
What's wrong? I might personally go with more of a 0,55,70,70,70 on normal, but this sounded and looked like it was behaving fine.

Re: When helis gone wild
I don't know anything about a HW ESC, but for a scale model.. the head speed seems really high.. and the controls really quick...
