You may have to resize some of the links to free all the links up.

If you are using the plastic seesaw then you may have overtightened the fixing screws into the head block. Back them out a litlle and see if this improves the problem.
Alot of people are going to the metal seesaw for this reason.
Mine I just tightened till it bound then backed off the screw three quarters of f&*$ all, till it was good and free. This method relies on the loctite to hold properly.

make sure the plastic is not binding I had to remove a very slight amount between the metal
and plastic.

Your seesaw is too thick and when you tighten the screws down it binds.
You can either back the screws out or remove the seesaw and remove a little material to make it thinner in the area where the mounting screw goes through. Don't take off too much.. Just enough to free up the movement.

I recommend removing material from the seesaw instead of relaying on thread lock to hold the bolt in place. those who are doing it this way as asking for a problem.

I was going to say that and I do agree... There are only so many threads holding the seesaw on. I should have added that removing material is my preferred method. I've read of others backing the screw out but IMO that's not the correct way to do it.

I dont think I had to back the screw out more than 1/4 of a turn to get the seesaw to be free. I dont feel that I have comprimised the strength of the heli by doing this. Although I must say that when it is time to upgrade some stuff I will be getting the metal seesaw!
