Newbie question, the answer is probably in here somewhere but I do not know. Today I just got done fixing my first wreck, bent shaft busted rotor baldes and tail rotor blades (4th batt charge with 0 previous experience except for gliders years ago and doing something stupid) when this happened. My question is has anyone experienced the rotor blades turning with the radio turned off? I was re-adjusting the tail motor gain, I had the radio (stock) turned off and was going to unplug the battery to do another adjustment when the blades spun up rather quickly and it commenced to self-destructing and tearing up my bench. There was enough juice to hover it with a little more throttle than usual, but not much, when the event occured. My setup is stock straight out of the box. Thanks.

You werre apparently writing the same time I was, but I gotta jump on this one. Don't ever-ever-ever turn off your radio unless there's no power on your chopper. Radio on....Chopper on.....chopper off....radio off. The 4-in-1 has nothing to control it if the radio is turned off.
