Please see if you can assist.
I gave just gone through the entire setup of my 500EFL. As far as I know, every single parameter is correct as I checked and double checked, but I fear possibly something glaringly obvious is wrong.
Helicopter on the ground 10-20% rotor speed - no problem
Full and free movements of all controls and helicopter moving the correct direction as helicopter is light on the skids and basicly just just on/of the ground.
Blade tracking is perfect
But here come the part that scared the living heck out of me.
As I shut down the power, the helicopter basically flipped onto the left. Did not quite flip, but hit the bottom of the blades rather hard.
This all happened during the rotor rundown through 10% - 15% power.
Do you possibly have any answer?
