O man Im sorry to hear that. It would be a good idea alright to build or replace the 3 servos. Better to be safe than sorry.

Long time no post! Everything is going pretty well now, just trying to get enough balls to flip it! I ended up replacing the cyclics with DS610's. Figured I'd keep the old raggedy canopy until I can hover inverted at an acceptable level, that way I don't ruin another one

Good to here from you again Chitty. Man that looks cold. Remember to warm your Lipos a bit before flight as they work better that way.

Ouch what happened Chad? I would guess the main shaft and spindle are bent as well

Dam that looks it came in hard man. Apart from what Chris said I would also think about replacing the gears in the servos. Seeing as your practicing 3d I would seriously think about a flybarless system with a bail out function. It may save you in the long run. This crash alone would have it payed for.

On the last flip I hit negative too quickly and then I spun and lost orientation. Spindle and main shaft "look" good but I will be replacing them anyways like I always do. I found a club to fly at so I am going to have this guy there hook up to me in trainer next time.
