She does fly! See video response.The crash was from the missing set screw that locks in through the boom. The heli was brought just to show that day,was still in a project state but got too excited and wanted to show a quick spoolup for my dad. Was only a $200 lesson at least.
I think the problem is the tail! Have a closer look at the long boom. If possible make it shorter and dont put the batteries on the book. Thats not the place, where they belong. Think about to place the camera underneath the landing gear. Thats better for stabilisation and gives better flight feeling.....
@knirschibus The boom is made for 800 class blades, which is what she is swinging. The battery boom mount is to balance the c.g. from having the gimbal and dslr up front.
@knirschibus cant make it shorter...its called a 800 for a reason...longer blades and longer tail. if you shorten the tail the main blades down draft will mess with the tails physics. problem i see is his tail is too low to the ground and looks like he tail striked the ground. the batteries are on the tail for a reason...to balance out the camera rig weight in the front. also for the type of photography thats setup to do it has to be up front. many use this type of rig.
I looked at the video it looks like it was light on the skids and the wind tipped it once the blades hit the ground the tail hit the ground and it was all down hill after that. Thanks for watching.
I see that the tail blades touch the floor and the crash makes the boom hit the main blades, just my guess.

seems the main blades are too close to the tail blades

Thanks Donnie, John is a beginner and has a lot to learn like most of us. He has way to much money to give up on it.

I believe keeping tail blades from the tarmac is a good place to start.
