HIROBO X-spec - Freya - Sceadu - Shuttle > Head bolts sheared off on EVO 90...anyone else??

Flying today and was trying to do a piro flip. Did a couple of ugly ones and after noticed the heli felt very strange....tucked suddenly in forward flight and just had a loose unstable feel. Landed it and see that both of the bolts in the head of the dampners had sheared off and were gone. Flush with the headblock.

Has anyone else had this happen? This heli can handle un-coordinated 3d cant it (lol)? Also, my flybar was bent down on both sides. Any ideas????

Craneyum on here lost a few head bolts on his evo 90

Did you use Red Thread Lock or blue?

Ok, i did a jb "do a search" turner and found my answer....think it must have been too tight as the rest of the screw is still in there.

Now, i have a new question. I ordered a flybar for backup a while back. Pulled it out and it is the 0404-348 (535 length) instead of the 0404-347 stock length (490 length). What will this do to flight and can i use it ok without worry?

Hello,
You can use the 535mm flybar, but you may be happier with the 490. I tried longer flybars and found that it had an "overdriven" feel, but that is my personal preference. I went back to the 490 and like it a lot better.
