Reported aircraft: Robinson R44 — a different aircraft that carried the N144SM registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the improper installation of the nut/bolt assembly connecting the left cyclic push-pull tube to the non-rotating swashplate by maintenance personnel, which led to a loss of roll control during takeoff.
