Funny sounds and weird feelings, CHECK YOUR HELI!!!!

My tail was slowly getting worse over the last few flights.
Tail was starting to hunt, were as before it was locked in.
Well the last flight was really bad, so I thought i'd give the heli a look over.


Heres the video.

Dude lucky boy, great advice as well, I tend to give a lot of the main bits a wiggle before a days flying

Two little bolts could have cost you a heli. Great catch. Like I say, preflight checks are a must.

Nice catch, Lee.

Well spotted, some of those things are hard to spot until it's too late.

Nice catch man, that could have been expensive. I am almost anal retentive when it comes to checking over my birds prior to flight. Maybe cause I don't wanna spend any money on parts now LOl. I just want more new birds .

WOody

Well caught dude my tail on both 450 and 550 were hunting. I sware all bearings felt great. But the tiniest amount of play and that was the issue. Initially it looked like a gyro problem. Nice one Lee.

Just flew it.
Amazing how well the heli flies with no loose screws LOL

Good catch, see what happens when you dont crash a lot. I had a close one on the Gaui but nothing that serious, forgot to tighten down the lower bearing block after fixing the play in the main shaft. Did not notice it till after the funfly. I flew at least 6 packs with the lower block loose on one side. Nice thing is that part has a snug fit in the frames so it didnt move much.
