Status: offline 		Well, Im glad to see that your still riding even though you got injured on your honda, that kind of commitment explains why you are so persistent at flying your heli, and it seems to be paying off, Before too long you will be doing tricks never before tried by others!

Status: offline 		Never tried by others ??? I don't know about that, but I would love to see the damm thing fly for a change... I figure my best plan of attack for that show, is to take it out to an open area, and wring it out like I do the heli's on the simulator. After I fly it around a little, maybe I won't be so afraid of it, and then I can worry about a soft landing when I done. This nonsense of trying to hoover between the house and the pickups is not working out too good. That sucker needs to fly !!! Now, when I do this, and if i get it back in one piece, the party will start promptly at 8pm. LOL Dennis (Im thru crashing dammit)

Status: offline 		replacement parts arrived today and i put the 22e back together.
(on a side note, i noticed the stock parts have 22d stamped on them?)

everything seems to be adjusted correctly but when i s-l-o-w-l-y spin her up the main blade seems to pitch and hit the tail boom. one time it hit hard enough to dent the main blade a little and put a nick in it. (see picture)

but when i spin it up a bit faster (so the centrifugal force keeps the blades out) it spins fine and the blades track well and balanced.

it did not do this before the crash and i'm wondering if i missed something - any suggestions?

Status: offline 		Well, I don't use the 3D yet, and I always have a little positive pitch, even at no throttle. Thats the way I like it... incorrect or not, just a few degree's though...

Status: offline 		thanks all for the ideas. out of curiosity - do the main blades ever come in contact with the boom on any of your helis?

in the crash i broke off one of the two slim metal posts in the t_assembly (see yellow)

is there supposed to be a gap at the t_assembly? (see red)
