Swash plate assembly

[AusAnt]

I am assembling the swash plate for my 500 3d on page 8 of the manual. I don't know the name of the part, but in the bottom right corner of the page there is a part which slides down over the main shaft and has two arms with ball links on them. The picture for the 500 3d shows a brass sleeve inside this part. Mine has none - it looks like the part for the 500 DX, however the arms and bolts are as per the 500 3d.

Does it sound like I have the wrong part here? Will it be OK or do I need to do something about it?

Thanks,

Ant

The manual is meant to support all the models Mikado makes. The stock 3D "washout" is plastic. You can buy the aluminum one down the road if you wish that has a brass insert, however there is truly no need the plastic one does work fine. I suggest putting a drop of triflow every odd flight on the shaft above washout however for lubriction of these moving components, cheers.
