Seen it Happen Before.....

Check to see if the retaining pin is still secure in te head with the set screw. If it is whoever put the head on missed the main shaft and put the pin in actually on top of the main shaft. It will fly for a while with the clamping screws on the head block but at some point the head will depart from the Heli. I always line up the hole in the head block with the main shaft then I turn it one revolution just to make sure that I am seeing the hole in the main shaft. Then I insert the reatining pin then I try to pull up on the head to make sure it's secure before I tighten the clamping screws on the head. It is an unusual sight to see the head go one way and Heli go the other!

Not sure if 'unusual' is the word that would spring to my mind if it happened to one of my helis!
