Just dumb thumbed my scooby in this arvo on a botched auto. 10 auto's and then I thought just one more. Really stuffed it up as I touched the ground a little heavy after reducing collective a little too much when I felt i didn't have enough negative on. Then i bounced it about 6 foot after pitching up collective....low speed rotor...lead lag etc second touchdown was heavy and it rolled on it's side and the rotor blades just stopped. Thought about banging out on the bounce but with the low rotor speed and the blades going out of whack it may have self destructed in the air with truckloads of power on. dunno if I may have got away with it but just hung on for the second touchdown. 10 auto's before were all really good and was touching down on a spot.
Anyway to the point. Blades, boom, flybar, tail servo gearset, spindle and the ali hub. The mast is straight!!!! Unbelieveable. The mast dti's perfect but the actual hub is bent and wobbles on a brand new mainshaft. So I just put a new main shaft and hub in it. I think the hubs are pretty weak and you may need a couple in your spares inventory.
I would have never thought that would happen in such a gentle crash. After every dirt nap I think that hub will bend and may be the problem with vibes if you don't change it.
may help if you dick your evo in at some stage. |
