Took mine out for the first time today. Was a blast, until I tried to loop without the idle-up engaged. [&o] Smacked the ground hard. One skid broken, and one blade damaged. First crash kit purchased, hope to take it out again tomorrow.

The only real complaint I have is that the collective pitch seemed not to be very stable. It seemed to jump up/down while hovering. While I was repairing it tonight, I inspected everything closely and noticed the left/right servos arms were not even, IOW with the swashplate horizontal, one servo arm was up and the other was down, the two linkages were not even close to the same length.

I also noticed the collective would increase/decrease pitch as I moved the cyclic left/right. The problem is that one servo is slower to respond than the other. If I move the stick slowly, no problem. I verified the problem is in the servo, I plugged both servos into a servo exerciser with a Y harness. They are Eflite EFLRS75 servos. I believe the problem existed before I first flew it, but can't say for sure it isn't crash damage. I'm going to replace the servo when I get a chance.
