XIII. WHAT TO DO AFTER A CRASH
Eventually all of us crash. The following guide will help you look for
common areas of damage when the inevitable happens.
1. If the boom has a kink, is bent severly, or broken, chances are the belt
has been damaged. Even if it is not broken, take it out and inspect the
belt closely. Look for any missing teeth, excess wear, and small nicks
in the rubber. If you are in doubt of it at all, replace the belt.
2. On even hard landings, damage, though not readily noticable may
occur. If on the next flight the helicopter shakes, and the tail bobs up
and down, you have probably bent the feathering spindle. They can be
pulled out and rolled along a glass surface. If there is even a tiny bit of
wobble you will notice it on the glass surface; replace the spindle.
3. If you have crashed the helicopter and did not cut off the throttle, or
you hit head first, chances are that you have bent the main shaft.
Typically just rotating the head by hand you will spot a bent main shaft,
though rolling the shaft on a piece of glass as is done with the

feathering spindle is the best way to find out.
4. If you have bent the main shaft or feathering spindle, chances are that
the bearings are damaged. A slight flat spot on the bearing can occur
which can lead to vibration, or eventualy failure of the bearing. Blade
grip bearings and especially main shaft bearing should be replaced.
5. Check all plastic parts for cracks. Try flexing the part slightly, as cracks
may not show up unless you put a small load on them. For example,
check the mixing arms or blade grips.
6. With no power to the helicopter, carefully move each servo arm in the
typical movement the servo would make, and listen for any broken
gears. If there are, replace the servo.
7. Go over all ball pushrods once the helicopter has been put back
together and make certain they will not pop loose easily, as pushrods
which do not look broken can be stressed in a crash enough that they
will not hold anymore.
