Default RE: Bdavison's E-flite Blade Assembly

i just had a radio glitch from hell....i may have gotten inbetween the heli and radio, i fired up the radio ,set it down, plugged in the heli battery and as i was turning around to pick up the radio the heli fired up and went to the ceiling of my shopand was pinned to the ceiling for about 5 seconds, then as i was holding the radio trying to figure out what happened it turned over and you guessed it ...it found the floor.have ya ever seen a fish on the shore thrashing around this was worse it went on for near a minute while i tried to pin it to the ground to pull the plug and stop the carnage. total damage that i have found so far .....1 broken pitch linkage,1 bent fly bar,total loss on the tail blade and lost a bearing,woodies are toast and i replaced the main shaft and gear because i think it had a slight wobble but not certain so i will keep it and check it at another time. not as bad as i would have thought after i saw how it looked. radio glitches suck.......... oh ya and i did everything right on start up trim and throttle down normal mode.....o well i just about got her back together for another shot need to balance and track blades..also i got the alum. swash while i had it apart, any thoughts about it ,does it help any other than in fff from flex?
