I was flying last week when I had an obvious mechanical failure during flight. I was flying fwd and for no readon the heli started to roll and loose height. After lots of stik inputs and no reaction the heli hit hte ground... After a quick look the flybar case has snapped but more interestingly the control rod ball joint was off. (the oval shaped one, lower ball joint.) I thought this was more than likely due to the crash so I pospped it back on with ease... After applying very little pressure, it popped back off, the other one was also very loose. I have had about 30 batts through it and was wondering if this is common. I m still learning so have only done very basic flight, a couple of fig 8s and circuits. Is there anything else that I shoud check before I repair and then take to the air agan???
Cheers
Are loose ball links typical on a belt CP??
