How much play in main rotor shaft up and down?

[Mike SVOR]

How much play should there be, up and down, in the main rotor shaft of a titan 50? (grabbing the rotor head and lifting up, then pushing down)

I can lift mine up about .035 thousandths. ~a little less than a milimeter movement.

EDIT: I found the answer. I didn't have the lock collar down far enough.

Tighten the locking collar down :D

Thanks,
Yea, I had it tightened down but there is a 'range' that the collar can fit in. The book doesn't say how tight or loose to make it.

I thank you for ALL your help during this build!
I'd be going crazy if I had nobody to answer these trivial questions.


Thanks man!

No problem, I'm off Thursday and Friday if you want to drive up and do a lil flying.

Pull up on the head (or push up on the maingear) while you push that collar as far down as you can and tighten it up. It shouldn't move.
