Well. It was greta while it lasted. Just took it for a flight. Doing some gyro tuning. Was doing a piro and did a reversal and it went all Dunkan Bossion on me:

Uncontrolled, full tilt piro. The canopy got loose or something because the mains ended up eating it (confetti raining down). TH and let it fall to the ground (about 15ft up at the time).
Blade grip arm is toast, which means new blade grip. Blade links are no where to be found. There is a tooth missing on the main gear, but I'm guessing it will fly fine still. Servos seem to have survived. Nothing wrong with the tail as far as I can tell. I'll have to take the blades off to do a spin up test to be sure.
I'm guessing the tail end points are set a little too long and the reversal I did ended up causing it to jam up the tail slider/control arms. Will need to find out if there are instructions on how to adjust that setting.

). I haven't started a flight log thread for myself yet, so wanted to put this up in a standalone for the moment since it is a new heli on the market and I think Gaba is the only other that's posted a view of one in action so far here.
