Dear fliers
Have a weird thing happen today while i was flying.
On my 3rd pack, as i spool up i notice my tail was nodding.
I thought it could be my tail blades not extended out fully thus it was oscillating.
So didnt care, just spool up to full head speed.
Then in flight i still notice the tail nodding slightly.
But it was very windy so i just didnt bother and assume its the wind causing it.
Then as i decided to land, my heli just slammed down from about a foot height and.unfortunately my tail fin hit the turf, twisted towards the tail blades and broke one of the blades.
Only then i went to check that i found out all my gears had been damaged ( all the bevelled gears on the tail boom ). Main and auto rotation gear spared from the damage.
Then checked again and realize oh shit why my elevator Servo also spoil !
Any idea how could this happened?
Im sure a hard landing wouldnt damage a elevator servo.
Or was the servo that failed at moment i was landing it, caused the heli to come down so fast, it cause that hard landing ?
Puzzled.
Anyway, got to get replacement.. Hopefully it is a one-off event...
Had flew this heli for 15 packs safe and sound.. Dont know why this funny thing happens.
