| Check the main shaft. It's thick steel and yet somehow everytime I've crashed it's gotten bent. Not by much, but bent. Take it out and roll it on a flat surface. (a glass mirror works great) Look for light to be visible from under the middle, and then from under the ends as it rolls, that indicates it's bent. Also look closely at the two bolts that hold the main shaft on, make sure they didn't get bent or cut into a little bit in the crash.
Feathering spindle for sure. Flybar of course. Check the oval links to make sure they're not cracked on their ball links, they like to crack right on the end.
Check your servos if anything got hit hard, make sure they travel their full range smoothly and didn't lose a tooth or two off a gear. My tail servo lost two teeth on a gear last week when I got a boom strike.
You said you got bits of blade in the swash, check it over real carefully and make sure it spins nice and smooth and doesn't have any new slop in it.
Most everything else should be obvious if it's damaged. |
