I messed around with that brass sleeve that goes in the tail slider. I messed it all up by dremmeling it out larger.

Well, whatever I did made the sleve stop running true. I can see the slider assembly wiggle while I spin the blades.

I want to blame the wiggle on my problems getting my G500T to stop glitching on my Fury. It's holding, but every few seconds the tail will dance one way or the other. It does this in a hover and it does it in FFF. So it's a real confidence killer.

My question:
I had CA'd the snap on retainer (0443) into place against the pitch yoke (120-14). I got the retainer to come off and appears to be in fair shape. Can I re-use it? I wouldn't bother except my supplier is out of stock.

Honestly Mark, I wouldn't. If that retainer slips, however unlikely it might be, things are going to get ugly really fast.
