Thanks for the advice. I'll try the monitor test, and follow up with Spektrum.

I flew my TRex 550X a little while ago. At about halfway through my flight, suddenly the heli starts spinning, like the tail servo wasn't working, and I can't control it. It crashed to the ground - not a pretty sight. I thought at the time that maybe the servo wire extension to the tail servo...

Thanks for advice - I will send to Horizon Hobby.

OK, here are the images - hope this works.

I'm that guy that didn't listen when taking the back off my DX8 G2. I was careless, so I broke the wire going to the antenna on the rear cover despite the warnings. Now when I use my DX8, my helicopter falls from the sky at a certain distance due to loss of signal. Here is a picture of the...

Thanks for all the great advice. I didn't even see that loose bolt. Now thread-locked and tightened. Will go over the heli very closely before flying. BTW, Smoggie - the collar has raised parts on both sides, as you suspected.

Thanks for the replies! I took a look at my parts collection, and I found a collar! There is now no play on the shaft. As an aside, when I took the shaft out, I could see it was pretty heavily scored. Additionally, there had been pretty nasty screeching coming from the helicopter when I...

Hi all, Just repaired an Align 450L after a crash. Replaced the main shaft, among many other things. But now there is a lot of up and down movement on the shaft. It's held in place at the bottom by the autorotation bearing against the bottom main shaft bearing, but there seems to be nothing...

That worked! I've got a lot to learn. Thanks for the help.

I have an align 3gx with a Spektrum sat, and a Spektrum DX6i, which you can see from the video. When I switch the elevator to be reversed, everything starts acting strangely: the throttle acts like the elevator control, and the elevator starts acting like a throttle. Something very similar...

Great video. I am pretty new to flying RC helicopters, and have mostly flown Blade microhelicopters. Not so much setup required. However, I just bought an align 450L dominator, and I'm finding there is a lot to learn. I am following the steps in your video, but one of the first steps is making...
