15 flights ...and then crashed for no reason

[ric4nier]

I've been flying helis for more than 30 years...very excited about the 516 heli, I have about 15 flights into the 516 and it flys awesome ,,,,I was at a fun fly this weekend and after 2 minutes into the flight the heli just crashed with no control....my experience it had to be push rod, control link or fly bar system went nuts.  I decided to try ikon system since I can't buy skookum anymore....The Ikon was easy to setup so I just don't know..and I am said it happen, especially in front of a lot of people watching...

Anyone has any ideas what happened would be appreciated, just maybe what to look for.....ordered parts, hope to get it back in the air, not sure I can trust setup right now until I get confidence in setup....,,,,
thanks.........

Sorry to hear that!  The 516 is a fantastic Hello for sure.

It sounds more of an electrical/electronic issue if you lost all control.  We you able to bench check anything after the crash?  So many things could have caused this. A brown out (loss of signal), loss of Receiver/flybarless power?

Can't go wrong with an Ikon. Very easy to set up. 
goo luck on the rebuild.

Cheers

I agree with Alan seems to be electrical or electronic. Check to see if no wires are bare.

Good luck.
