Hi everyone. I'm new to heli's but have countless hours with planes.

Just picked up a new 22E. After a few minutes of running at about 30-50% and getting used to the controls, the main rotor quit spinning at full force.
It's like a slipping clutch. The motor spins then the blade starts to spin. It seems like something stripped or came loose between the motor and the rotor?

Thanks for the help

Regards,

Check the grub screws just below the main shaft, and every other srewable item.

Hope that helps.

That didn't fix it. Looks like the set screw on the main axis retainer is stripped out. Funny, I haven't even lifted off the ground before a breakdown.

Should be an easy fix.
