Is this broken?
Made some progress today with my BCP - lots of hovering, and some back and forth forward flight. After a while, control was getting harder and harder, until it just dropped to the ground. After, I could not get it back off the ground. I brought it home and started trying to figure out what went wrong. I noticed the flybar was freely rotating about its longitudinal axis. I'm pretty sure its not supposed to do that... Should these collets be attached to the control frame?

RE: Is this broken?
Is it common for this to break? Today I had no crashes, just a couple hard touch downs. Could it have been weakend in previous crashes, then just simply gave out today? I think its also kind of odd that both sides broke at the same time. I'll probably buy two just in case.

RE: Is this broken?
LOL...well not to funny! I was working on mine, adjusting the pitch linkage after replacing the rotor head. When I was done, I found this small piece if plastic on the table. Not knowing what it was I set it aside. Later when I plugged in the battery to check my work, and then in the living room floor, I brought it up to speed. Thats when I niticed that something wasn't right. Picking up the blade I noticed that my swash plate was cockeyed. Bingo found what the piece of plastic was for![>:] It was for the backside of the swash plate. The little piece that rides in the channel to keep the swash plate straight. Broke it off flush with the guide channel. A toothpick and some CA fixed that problem
