      Hi All
      Found out why I crashed (Kasama, a page or 2 back), check out this image. The negative pin on the power to the RX pack pulled from the plug...
      Mental note, ALWAYS use at least 2 power plugs to RX pack

      Now that's an odd one! Easy to see in hindsight of course.....
      How do you reckon it came out? Did you pull on it at some stage?

      It is an odd one @mr_squiggle , no wonder i went off air and was free flying. I think someone's bony fingers got in there, no mere mortals would fit. (I have no idea how it happened). I think it would be pretty easy to miss in a pre-flight too, I think from now on, all models must have redundant supply to the RX pack, then this can't happen (or the probability is exceedingly low). Oh well, fix it up and fly again

      Ahh yes I remember - the crash heligod factory made a batch of these plugs last year! Glad to see they are being put to good use. ..

      Or you can just push the servo lead in further until you hear a click

      It's not the servo lead, one of the pins in the servo plug has come out, so the servo lead had 'plugged in' and over time, the negative lead from the plug had ejected itself, nothing to do with a 'click'

      Exactly, if crashing poked you off , you would not fly RC heli's - just try and learn from your (my) mistakes....

      In that pic??
      I do not think that's true, it looks like a an A1 glue job to me.....You don't glue the wires to stop them coming out of the plugs, you glue the plugs to stop them slipping from the FBL, that's how thought it was done...
