That's why I always say buy the kits and put it together yourself, that way you know it is put together right. Those people putting those helis together don't care, and why should they when they are probably only getting about $1.50 an hour. I have read a lot of horror story's over the years about ARF's flying apart. You can have problems with any heli, but at lest if you put it together yourself you have peace of mine. Sorry for your lose, hope you get it straightened out
