450 Maiden flight/hover

After all the replacement parts, tweeks, and repairs i finaly got to do a maiden today.The first attempt was bad.I thought i had the swahplate leveled using the factory leveling toolPicture 013.jpg,which actualy is totaly useless.It wound up not makeing the swash level.When i took off for the first time after the leveler the heli flow backwards toward me and wound up crashing.The crash was not that bad , i only had it about 1 - 2 feet off the ground.When it hit the ground that only damage was the main shaft got bent.replaced it and eye balled the swashplate and took it up.With total success.I still need to do some tweeks and adjustments but all in all a good maiden.Still having some prob with the tail rotor, but not bad enough that i cant fly
