Was flying my Kinetic 50 with my DX-6 yesterday and it started to do some really weird stuff like pitching forward from a hover and going into forward flight without me moving the sticks, or suddenly it would start to climb. Not sure if the pitch was changing or if the throttle was blipping. Ended up crashing the damn thing because it started to fly away from me and I was afraid that I might lose control completely. Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing? It was like radio interference, except I'm on 2.4 ghz so that should happen, right? Prior to this, the heli was always rock solid in a hover. I was thinking maybe the receiver is pooched. Ended up destroying the tail boom, blades, torque tube, feathering shaft, and maybe a couple of small parts in the tail rotor assembly.
If you are using the DX6 remember that it is not a full range 2.4 especially using 6100 or 6100E. The other possibility is you suffered a power brown out on receiver. An other possibility is the wind just simply moved it away from you. And last you may have a bad gear in your elevator servo or bad servo or a loose servo in the tray or ball link on control or bell crank came loose.
