[QUOTE="leedude1, post: 165504, member: 4570"] So Dumb ass here.:biglaugh: I bought a new radio over the winter and have been slowly swapping over the settings from my old radio to the new for each of my models as I fly them. This was the first day at the field and taken out the bigger birds for a go round. Although I programmed the radio I forget to go through the settings with the FBL... etc like the servo reversing wasnt programmed. In my preflight check I always verify to make sure the fbl is properly correcting for all directions including the tail and it was, but I DIDN'T CHECK MY RADIO COMMANDS ... so after lift off when it started to roll right, my subtle correction simple made it roll more as I should have had my aileron servo and my rudder reversed. Just swapped out my blades , fixed my settings and went through the whole fbl set up again to be sure.. took her for a quick test hover in the driveway a foot off the ground, all good... have a tiny little bobble not sure if its the wash as i didn't want to get to high just in case. In any case ill loosen up the frame screws and re square it, check the torque tube and the tail hub but honestly dont think anything is bend as not even a nick in any of the gears as I wasn't fully spooled up and like I mentioned earlier hit throttle hold before impact. All said an done, lesson learned. :culpability: [/QUOTE]
