| Another learning experience....
No warning whatsoever, just above ground and tipped way back to start fastbackward flight, the very second I tipped, the tailrotor quits and the 600 piros into the dirt. I couldn't hit the TH fast enough to save it. Crap!
I took the tailboom apart and found that the torquetube bearing had worked its way to the back and the tube must have started to whip, then the end of the tube snapped off. Honestly didn't hear any weirdness before-- the tail was always locked right on and smooth.
Anyone else have their bearings start to slide around??
Well, that's another $169 lesson.
Thanks for any discussion.
