Crashed the 250 yet again!

I managed to crash the 250 again on its 5th flight during the 1st session after rebuilding it. :-/

I was test flying it after the last crash and it was flying great!  I even did a few loops and nose in turns :). But it was getting a bit windy and while spinning the heli tail in to prepare for landing I over rotated, lost orientation, then tried to level it, and banked into the ground :(

Damage so far is:
Blade grip
Dfc link
Dfc ball links
Feathering shaft
Main shaft
Main shaft bearing block

I already have most of the parts, expect the main shaft bearing block, which I broke while removing the main shaft, because the one way bearing locked up causing the main gear to become stuck on the main shaft. :-/
