Well I was out flying a bit today everything going great. Doing some loop's,roll's,etc. Then all of a sudden my tail started twitching to the right I tried to correct it but nothing. I was lucky able to land it somewhat safely being it was coming down sideway's got it corrected and lucally I was able to land it upright somehow behind a little hump in the ground. Damage dosent look to bad... Blade's, flybar, mainshaft, landing gear mount's, look's like all I see so far...

No it's really not. I was surprised I thought for sure I'd walk over to a mangled mess...

so, what happened to cause loss of tail control? Sounds like what happened when my tail servo burned out (running on too-high voltage)...

Never, ever, ever, ever give up.

Total damaged part's... Landing gear mount's, Flybar, Replaced the main shaft..I't looked ok but might of been a little bent so I went on the safe side and replaced it, Landig gear broke ( no biggie they were just Align) and boom support's ..again only align's so no biggie...

As for the tail I'm not sure what went wrong. It's a 770/8900g volt's are fine checked it... I think it was in my programming I had a very small tail wag but it went away. I think I'm gonna go back and put my 6100T back on the heli.

Did you check the spindle? If you have the 6mm spindle, it's hard to believe it didn't bend.

Not yet from what I know.. I talked to Wes a couple week's ago on when he was expecting somemore 600E Knight and if he had some spindle's and such but he didn't have any and said he would get some on order.. Do you know the part # for the 8mm spindle..
