| Sorry to hear about the crash.............
Quote:Head block broke clean off (mercy killing) as it was under full power and as a result very little damage....
Eh? under full power, and little damage. Not two words that really go together, and normally it leads to the funky chicken. Most crashes where the power is off, usually leads to the best chance of minimal damage. It's like the old saying, of when you commit to a auto, and at the last second it goes wrong, your better off just trying to land it, as the blades will be travelling slowly at max pitch. Sometimes even with a horrible landing your heli will be ok, you'll be surprised how much abuse these things can take!!!
One last thing Gailfrey, you said the main shaft, and tail rotor shaft are straight..... don't let me spoil the party, but given your head broke clean off, and the tail blades are damaged, chances are they are bent, and i would replace them.
Roll them on a glass table, as it is difficult to eyeball if a shaft is straight or not.
