Sunny day. Very fine weather. Try to start my os50 as it stayed inside the car for almost 4 weeks. Just want to run the engine for a tank.
Just disassemble the starter shaft and it slips with a loosen hex nut. Forgot to tighten the T-arm hex nut. Dissaster happened jsut after 5 mins of violent 3D and it lost control and already dropped into the sea. Luckily, all electronics are safe.
Metal parts including main hub ($180), tail box ($380) are destroyed. The frame, Torque tube are intact. Brand new Funkey blade ($430) destroyed.
Total fix cost ~$1,300 with upgrade of the new align double bearing swashplate ($240?), 600D CF blade ($380) . Also had a major overhaul with change of most bearings >100 flight (Main grip, tail grip, main shaft, seesaw, mixing arm bearings.... )
