Hi, I have noticed while building my Hurricane, that the solid links from the washout to the flybar, and the solid links from flybar to the mixer arms are a bit on the loose side for my liking.
There is a small amount of play in and out on the balls. They still feel firm when I remove them with the ball link pliers, so I don't think they would pop off in flight.
I wonder if anybody else has the same problem???

I have not had that problem- I actually had to use a sizing tool a little to get them a little looser.

I can assure you that my balls are if anything on the large side!
However, as regards the heli, I think I will have to source some alternative ball links, just to be on the safe side.
