I popped a head linkage off and had no cyclic or collective control. I landed kinda upright... kinda. The most damage was the blades and torque rod & tube. Besides the basic crash carnage, everything else is okay, even the canopy.

Credit to KiwiDave1 and KC for the great photos! Yeah I did a few more tricks this year, but I also crashed both the 600n and Protos. Sometimes entertainment costs a few dollars.

The second generation radius arms hold the pins great. But this could have been a catastrophic crash. I landed it flat, fortunately.
