This can help Noobs as well as *Seasoned* Pilots:
This is pretty much for all birds that have bearings on control arms, ie. washout, bell-mixer, aileron-arms, etc. If after you've tightened the bolt or nut that holds the adjustment so that the arm moves freely and there's no notchiness, the arm still wiggles some, try taking a pair of diagonals and put a few gentle squeezes on the bolt or stud that the bearing sits on. It's like knurling the shaft some to increase the size a bit. the arm may have to be pushed on a little hard, but it will keep the arm from rocking side to side, takes a lot of slop out of the system. Be gentle, a little goes a long way.
