Well, Got it home, but it was a little work. Did not have time to properly balance and track the rotor system. Everything ran like it should. Of course, everything else that you count on working did not, like the GPS  Been a long time since I have navigated with just a map. Of course, it had to happen in a helicopter that is trying to shake apart and has no autopilot. Throw in a few crop dusters along my path to make it even more fun.
