HoneyBee Vibration Issues???

Hello All,
I recently purchased a 4 channel HoneyBee and have been hovering it around lightly. Still very new to the hobby and can sustain a good hover for about 30 seconds in my garage. The other day I had a pretty decent hit on a ladder. The strick was not under any power and nothing was damaged, or so I thought. The heli landed upside down. Now there is a small vibration between the speeds of power up and lift off. I have dissassembles the heli and checked all the parts and I cant seem to find the problem. I rolled the main axis on a mirror and it is straight. The flybar is straight as well. The blades and paddles are tracking normally. Everything seems to be in good condition. I am simply out of places to look. The vibration is not bad enough to halt flight, but it is bad enough to make me very nervous while trying to fly. If anyone has expirence with the HoneyBee line of choppers, will you please advise on what I should look for. Thank you.

I am a newb also but I had a similar experience with my Axe CP. I had a light blade strike which broke a linkage and cracked a blade. I repaired the heli and had a vibration at the low end of the throttle. It turned our to be a few broken teeth on the main gear.

Re: HoneyBee Vibration Issues???

Thank you for your feedback. It was actually the small plastic rotor bar. It was spun a little bit off center. Hardly enough for an amature like me to see, but the guy at the hobby shop found it right away. Hopefully this can help you in the future as well.
