Heli Exploded Was out at the field the other day, 2nd flight on my Logo 600, was doing a tight turn (heli was sideways) and the tail gives out completely.So, the heli flips upside down and starts spinning like crazy… I righted it, hit throttle hold and the heli literally explodes in midair and I'm picking up pieces across 100 x 100ft area.It all happened in less than a second, but far as I can tell, looks like tail belt snapped, caught on something, and the abrupt stop of the main blades ripped the frame to pieces and ejected the canopy through the main blades.Here's the result:![]() |

It looks to me like the belt bound up in the tail box, are there any marks on the tail pulley from the belt riding up the side of it ? Are you running the new tensioner or the old tensioner ?Inquiring minds want to know ![]() I would prefer if my heli did not explode in mid air like that !Regards, Nathan |

EXPLANATION for explosion I can tell you exactly what happened because the same thing happened to me last year at IRCHA.The Castle Creation service rep put their new BETA software in my HV85 esc and the software did not have the brake disabled. I hit throttle hold and the motor stopping literally ripped the frames apart, exactly like yours. I took it over to the Mikado tent and they immediately knew what to cause was. And true to Castle form, they denied that the brake being enabled was even possible, especially since the esc was a brand new replacement for 2 previous ones that did not make it through spool up.Believe me when I tell you it is the only plausible explanation if the explosion happened when you hit throttle hold.My friend MAYHEM had the belt wrap around the pulley and shaft but that would be a lot of luck to have it happen at the exact time you hit throttle hold. plus the belt is still in the boom and not tangled around the pulley. |

With it, its impossible for the belt to jump off, more or less.I have had issue with it jumping off with old pulley, so did friends, at TH and piro reversal (sudden change of load, big time), if your unlucky it gets totally off, on the side of the pulley and it snaps off, but if this was the case, you should see sign of it on the edge of the pulley.
