Heliman
Location: Toronto, ON, CANADA
| Replaced the main shaft bearing as it was notchy. Then i installed the bearing block upside down w/o paying attention. Fitted collar at the right place, but collar was not even making contact with the bearing, it was making contact with the bearing case. Went flying. After about 4 minutes I lost tail then after like 3 sec or so tail started to work slowly, (only 7 teeth on crown was left) .....I said F""""" as heli was coming down fast for a total loss....just in time made control when tail started working and got the heli down in one piece. This time nothing was broken except for stripped crown gear and damaged main shaft collar.
Lesson learned that attention to detail is required. |
