tail pitch plate assembly

[pistol974]

hi all
i'm still in the setup process of my build and noticed the tial pitch slider wasnt moving freely? I removed it and found that when trying to spin the links while holding the round peice the bearing is very notchy and won't spin freely. I checked out finlesses build video to see if i did something wrong but the only diff i could see is that my tailpitch slider has copper sleves and it looked like his were silver?

thanks for the help

May not have any lube from the factory. Add a couple of drops of lube to the bearing and see if it frees up. If not contact Jeff Green and let him know about it.
He is top notch about customer service issues.

I tried the lube but it is still very notchy. How would i contact Jeff Green?

and ask for him. During normal buisness hours of course.

I talked to Jeff today.He told me that it wasn't a issue. Since he is the main man at hirobo I am not going to worry about it. That much. Thanks for your help mudbogger2. Hey I have a suziki samari lifted, locked up, and geared. Me and about 8 buddies. BIG FUN!!!!

Thanks again,
Pete

My tail assembly was tight and had a slight bind using the supplied white clevis that attaches from the rod to the rear pivot arm. I replaced the clevis with a ball and link and now its smooth as glass.
