Gasser Model RC Helicopters > Lesson learned: always check the blade grip arm

During repair of my Maxum after a small crach (fail-save setting to neutral pitch caused heli to drop like a brick), I discovered that there was a slight slop in the blade grip. After consulting I ordered a part of the blade grip that probably was causing the problem. When putting everything together yesterday the slop wasn't solved unfortunately. Also when trying setting up the linkage again, I couldn't get it right. The only reason I figured, is that something else was bent. The blade grip arm looked OK visually, but I was suspicious now. Just took it apart and put it on a flat surface. IT WAS BENT!!!

I just sent Realheli a mail ordering the blade grip arms. Hopefully I get them next week. Just have to use my Henseleit nitro heli to fly this weekend.

Bummer!

Paul, to find out the last moment, so you'll have to order again is ....
When I had the mishap with my Xcell gasser with pro head.
An bladegrip arm was bent also, it is a beefy piece of aluminum but gets bent eventough.

Get your heli well soon!

Eric.
