Default Could this be the problem?

Well, today I was flying my stock Walkera DragonFly 4 and it was rattling so bad, one of the rotor blades snapped off (I think that's why). So, I super glued the rotor to where it was snapped and hopefully this would stay. When I took apart the top I noticed that a metal piece was horribly bent as if someone grabbed each ends of it and twisted it in opposite ways (it was bent when I took it out of the box). I have tooken a picture of the part that was bent (I have already straighten it). Would this be the cause of my helicopter failing to talk off above 5 feet and the rattling problem?

The piece that was very very bent

They are just thin metal, so they bend. The piece is in tension when flying, so doesn't matter that it bends. I have flown mine without it once anyway.

It is not critical to the Heli's flight. But it is better to have it there -

Alright thanks. Hey do you have any kind messenger such as AIM or MSN? You seem like you know alot about DragonFlys and I would appreciate talking to you about it. I'm a newbie to these things and I rather not wait a day to get response from tech support and forums. So anyway, if you have any of those messengers, please add me.
