One of mine had an unscheduled touch down... so I'm busy rebuilding.
tail boom, main shaft, frame (was already cracked)...not too bad parts wise but a complete rebuild of course. Something let go... I could hear something slip... don't know if it was the pinion or the tail. Just heard a funny noise, the heli made a few strange movements... then lost control.

I am worried about flying mine again after it's last meeting with the ground. I have that suspicion she has an ailment I didn't diagnose and splat another hit. I need to fly it easy at low level for one pack and check all is acting right, but it is too hard to hold back! |

Untitled by JCLOUSEAU, on Flickr I made my own shaft out of 5/32 drill rod, plus drilled and tapped the hub for two 3mm set screws opposite of each other. I cut two flats in the shaft for the set screws to grab... Made several flights yesterday and so far so good... Also previously tried some 416 SS and it was too soft it would bend too easily under load causing weird vibes. I got some 5/32 Titanium rod on the way to try next Only down side to this setup... The hub, main gear, and belt drive gear will probably be trashed if you wreck because as of now my belt drive gear is CA'd on. You got to be able to remove the belt drive gear to remove the screws on the main gear. I tried my best to use all the stock parts rather than going exotic machining my own hub and belt drive, however that's really what needs to be done to move the set screws to where the Jesus bolt was... The set screws need more material on the hub to grab... |

Six packs in light rain today, and no wind.I Think it was the first time in no wind condtions.
I did have the motor cut but I think it was the LVC as when I switched from IU it came back to life. And it was fine with a fresh pack. Hard work with light rain hitting your eyes. 86 fights on it now with no probs.

I took mine out for 4 packs today. It wasn't flying right, not enough lift on low throttle and too sensitive at mid stick. Played around with the link lengths and curves and got her balanced up nice!!
Let's see what tomorrow brings..... |

I think I found out why mine was acting funny yesterday.
The pilot gets off but the engineer gets charged with negligence.

Looks like your tail blades are still good.
But then again I can only see one. May I ask what we're you thinking. I know the feeling. We've all been there and if you haven't been there your not flying.lol Look at the bright side now you can make it better than it was before. |

I even rebuilt it yesterday and didn't notice. Went out to fly and soon did.. this time I could see it was the tail letting go. I even flat spotted the pinion shaft during the build in case it was that. I'll go check my other 300 now

Looks like there's no more splines left for belt to turn tail shaft.

Just out of curiosity how was the belt.
Did it look as bad as the tail shaft. |

I just had to install an Align RCM-BL450M motor because it was all still shiny new just sitting there tempting me...
The 3500kv motor with 14T pinion is a power horse... It slightly bogs but even the Scorpion 6 didn't pitch pump like this thing does It's giving me 3400RPM, so I just might keep it in there, it fits under the stock canopy and I got 4min of hard flight with 3.78v left in the cells... ********Parental Warning*********. This is done on a highly modified 300x, I don't recommend this be attempted on a stock 300x.... |

Got tired of tweeking on the 450 pulled the 300 out and tried out the gorilla glue repair mod..It failed. Ordered new frames..notice the plural...put it in a 2 galon plastic bag and opened up a cold beer.......aahhhhhhhhh!!Should have started the day this way instead.
