View Full Version : Fix your tail pitch slider pin or it will fall out in flight
I've had this happen to two friends now who I am sure read that these need to be glued but forgot/blew it off for whatever reason. They WILL fall out, pull it out and CA it back in.

Hey SAR,
What is the easiest way to get that pin out? Just punch it out or what?

Mine pulled out with my fingers only.

Heheheee.... mine isn't that loose... but I will glue it anyway. Thanks for the advice! I should be flying it tonight or tomorrow.
I just used a pair of needle nose to pull the pin, it didn't take much effort at all.
One of the local guys did converted his tail to a ball link setup. Works pretty well, he said he found out how to do it from a post on another forum. I'll try to get some pics from him at some point.

I can't seem to find the pin you guys are talking about. Maybe I'm dense, but where I thought the pin was turned out to be a screw. Give me a photo, if possible.
Thanks in advance.
