Flight no2 report.

Ok...I was hoovering preety good on my previous heli (solo pro v2 wich got dead controler throttle is acting up that is,) but I decided to do whole hoover only session jut to get used to heli and amount of controls needed for it.
Hover part went almost perfect, one little rougher landing, but nothing training gear could not handle, also it was windless day.

To make a note, I rechecked all connections I double checked all rotating parts, retrimmed swashplate to new position, etc.

So, at very end of flight things start to happen, 1st, I saw that battery is near end so I decided to land and end flight, but in very landign (some 1¸,5 up to 2 meter in height) I noticed that servo are not responding. I landed and realised that I hear weird glitching noise from swashplate assembly and notice that all linkage is being broken or bent. looking from behind, left servo holder is also broken and some parts are totaly ripped off from from shaft that metal swinging part that is holding together rotor and flybar. All in all almost ttal damagwe in area,,, I am still unsure if swashplate itself is broken or just that leading plasic part...

I must admit I don't get it. No event of whatsoever, simple hoovering, I did some ground sliding prior to hover flight and that was uneventfull too. I must say for Now I am done with chinese crap gear, for quality US or EU made I don't have cash, so I think this will be put to hold for now. It is just plain stupid to spend another pile of cash on next round of spare parts just to make it flyable for one time. I already lost over 100$ on that trash..

You know what I would not be so mad if I crashed damn thing myself, but this was just too much.

As usual any idea is welcome, I am highly doubting that previous crash is cause of that, cos I spen several days rechecking whole heli.

My advice...Forget about Art tech if you value your money.

Sincerely
Angry pilot
