whats wrong with my new blade 400,please help
hi,just bought a new blade 400 ,i reset
the throttle curve and pitch curve to tame it down,got the settings from here,they worked really well,i was able to hover right away,but i barely hit one of the blades against my cellar wall,( shouldnt of been flying in the cellar) very light hit,but it shattered the blade,replaced with new one,now the heli is all over the place,very difficult to control,i checked the heli thru out and everything seems ok,main shaft is not bent,i cant really see anything wrong or out of place,all the servos seem to be working fine,it was just a light hit,and now its extremely difficult to control,cant even get it to hover,any help would be appreciated,i will fly outside from now on,thanks,oh i also tested the gyro as the manual says,and its responding like it should.

RE: whats wrong with my new blade 400,please help
It is probably your spindle/feathering shaft. This is the rod that goes between the main blade grips. They bend very easily. Your main shaft may look straight to the naked eye , but if you pulled it ( which is not as hard as it sounds) and rolled it on a flat surface, you would see it is probably slightly bent. Even the smallest impact bends parts on a heli.
