Ah Shadow,
Now, that's my kinda flying. Use the house instead of reversing the cyclic. Done that many many times! Hence the nickname SPLAT!

One of the easiest things to overlook after "non-lethal smash encounters" is damage to the feathering system (bent feathering spindle, chipped or split o-rings), which can cause all levels of balance/wobble problems. Check this if nothing else seems to be the problem. It isn't always obvious. Also, give the fly-bar and paddle alignment a good look over.

Good Luck,

Spalt
