Then the worst happened shortly after the last photos abover were taken.. One of the tail rotor blades flew off and you can only guess the result. Damage report --- 2 stripped servos and the swash plate came apart. Luckily I flew it into a tree.

Anyone know the fix for the swash? I'll post some shots later.

yeah, the new swash has a silver inner part to it, the old one is all blue. You can fix the old one by using some GREEN loc-tite, and putting it back together and letting it sit overnight
