This is a scale built Heli Ed built of the Florida Hospital's Flight 1 helicopter! It crashed while landing...we believe the Jesus Bolt broke!

I've been flying for over 10 years and I always land nose in the cause of this mishap and was the Jesus bolt broke! Not tail strike, not mainshft failure and not a stone hitting it either. During the fight half the bolt was in dew the the weight of the fuse and pitch in the blades, but when I landed and hit throttle hold that took the pitch out of the rotor head and the bolt was able to slide out which made the head come off the main shaft. Being the ball links was the only thing holding on the head the rotor jump sideways a hit the fuse and popped the links off and flew about 15 feet away. But to date she is back in the air and damage areas have been repainted. So since the crash I've flown the helicopter a total of 27 flights so she is better then ever. I slow down the head speed from 1740- to 1500 And improved the flight time and redused the heat of my 6cell packs after every flight.

+Eddie Sanchez Hi Eddie ... Good to see the heli is back in business. Yes, I looked at your video in slow motion, and yes, you can tell the head came loose because the screw was not holding the shaft at all . It is amazing the whole head came off upwards and intact as it usually hits the tail boom and causes a lot more damage.

I slowed it down to .25 speed and you can clearly see the pitch go to full on the main rotor when the bolt slid out.

AARGGHHHH. Even when it's not Your own and especially with a pilot who actually fly's it and doesn't just hover around all day, You feel the pain and swear out loud with such a gorgeous build. So glad to read it's back in action.I lost one on the ground after a flight when some "Dude" flipped on His radio on My channel to check His plane ! My Century Fuse 500D, Raptor mechs flipped right on it's side like it was hit by a bus.! All that happened to Him was His flaps fluttered cause I had My gyro rate on CH6.....Prick.

I think the Jesus bolt was loose, when the head was unloaded on landing the bolt lost tension and failed. This allowed the head to move up, the linkages were still attached resulting in more positive pitch, rapidly increasing lift, pulling the helicopter airborne until the linkages failed.

I had to watch this video, such a nice heli wanted to see what the weird crash was about. Watching the video carefully, it appears that one of the links failed while the rotor was still rev-ing high, throwing off the blade pitch, rotor stability, and leading to breaking the thin wall shaft. At least no blade grips failed and blades became projectiles.

Looks to me like someone threw a stone into the rotor disc. At 3:09 just before landing the ground is clear. At 3:14 when it gets destroy, you see it jump up and a decent size pebble suddenly appears. It can clearly be seen on the ground afterwards.Either a bird dropped it or someone threw it. It went in the rotor disc causing the jesus bolt to shear.

@SKYHOOK_DRONE_IMAGING9 жыл бұрын
At 4:09 I was able to freeze the rotor just as it let go. The blades are all connected just before the lift of the Head from the end of the broken shaft and rips them all loose. The blades were perfectly flat with no pitch until the head let go! The cause of the head failure was at the end of the main shaft. The closeup of the shaft looks like it may have failed because the wall of the main shaft was too thin and was not strong enough to withstand the defective thin wall. What looks like threads at the top being so near the inside wall of the shaft makes this the most likely reason for this accident. Be sure to check the measurements when you get the new part. If the old part is out of specifications I would make the manufacturer pay for it's repair!

The jesus bolt very well could have broke, BUT.. At EXACTLY 4:36, there are 2 frames. One frame shows the linkages intact, the next FRAME shows 2 linkages came undone and flailed outwards making 2 blades go very positive pitch. I think this moment made the head come off. Sorry about the loss. I dont know where that rock came from?

SkyVector Aerial Yes, that is a good question. Due to the odd circumstances of the crash, I would think that a very thorough post-crash investigation was done. I would like to see detail photos of each of the damaged/loose components, including the Jesus bolt as you mentioned earlier.

if u look the video in slow motion u will see, that just before the heli crashes, the flaps of the main rotory goes fully down, making a fast jump, ripping it off from the heli , after witch it flies off the heli and lands rotating, that causes the 2 rocks land next to heli, and would look like someone threw a rock at it. best guess is, that it was a glitch in the controlbord .

Looks to me like a broken swashplate linkage. If you look very closely (with 0.25 speed) you can see at 4:06 the linkage falling into cabin causing massive pitch increase at the blades because the swashplate came loose instantly. You can see in one frame their bottom flipping camera-wards. This pitch increase liftet the whole head off the heli and may have caused the broken jesus bolt.
