Second tank, coming out of a stall turn and back in to a tail in hover 1 meter of the desk in front of me when the heli twitched to the left. I thought what was that, then it did it again but bigger, so i thought I must get her down. As she was coming down she desided to roll on her left side and hit the ground.
I have no idear what caused the crash. All servos are still working, two head links have broken with the ball still attached. fly bar bent, blades and padels all broken. The boom was riped out and the tail clamp assembley broken. The canopy is split. thats all the damage i can see without stripping her down.

Better start saving, as she is going on the back shelf for a while.

I had something similar happen on a new bird. I fould that a servo wire had chaffed up against a sharp edge and was shorting out intermittently. You might try looking for something like that.

Is that a Carbon Fiber Canopy? Those can cause interference.

I'm sorry fo your loss.

I had to change to 2.4 because the PCM system just didn't work with my carbon Trex 600N. Solid G gyro also caused problems.

Did the range check, antenna closed 5 meters. With the gyro unplugged about 15 to 20m. I'm not sure what the problem was but the receiver could have been broken.

Though, when I took the rx of the bird the range increased to 60m.

The canopy is original with vinyl. I have had 300+ flights with this reciever in a trex 600 sport with no glitches. If it where a chaffed wire it will be on the left and right servos, I will remove them and see.

Spent two weeks building and on the 8th flight she went in.
