so I took off and started shaking the heck out of it as I piro flipped it over and all of a sudden I lost all controll of it and it went strait down nose first. I have checked everything in it and I cant find the cause of the crash. the only thing I can think of is that it poped a link on the head, I had herd some ticking in it prior to this when I slam the collective. anyone have any ideas on what might have happened? I got the throttle hold on before it got to the ground but I was only 10 feet high to start with so it hit hard.

from my experience ticking means link bouncing off of something

ticking usually a link bouncing off the spokes of the main gear.

ticking is not an indication of anything really. it can be alot of things, from a bearing to a bad tooth on the main gear to a link that popped off. Could it be you dumb thumbed it when inverted???
