I just learned a valuable lesson!!!!!!!!!!!!
My little crash I had was due to me the village idiot!!!!!!!!!!
a little recap.....put my Align DFC Pro together and just finished it up about a month ago....
Well I had a little mishap a couple weeks ago with it, the heli upon idol 1 initiating, became super duper aggressive....going up and down very very veeeeeeeeeery fast! So fast I couldn't catch it as it shot with lighting speed right down to the ground!!
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!
I just found out one of my bearing blocks was installed wrong! I made a critical mistake of trusting the judgement of another that I originally got the frame from with the blocks already installed...
The top bearing block bearing was shoved out of the block itself, also the one way bearing shaft had moved up
out of the main gear assembly and one way holder....
This allowed I am assuming massive pitch in my blades (causing the crazy movements up and down, and eventual smack into the pavement)
so on the TRex 500 Pro DFC the bearing block orientation is as follows for anyone wondering......
Top bearing block: The lettering Faces DOWN!
Bottom bearing block Lettering faces UP!!!!!!
Be sure to check this if you have a question about it! IT IS CRITICAL!!!!!!!!!
Thats all.........
