Axe CP repaired but a couple questions

[krispzz]

Hello,

After flying my Axe CP into the wooden fence (whoops), I had to replace the hub that the flybar and linkages go through. I had all the necessary parts and got everything operational again. However, after removing the flybar paddles and such to get the old hub out, the flybar is now pretty loose, such that I can change it's orientation easily by twisting it. I don't recall if it was like that before, but I'd assume it wasn't. I tried pressing the weights as close to the stabilizer control hub as I could and then tightening them down, but that really has no effect. It's not the paddles that are moving but the entire flybar rotates. This causes the thing to shake pretty violently (i can see that they arent spinning in alignment pretty clearly, and I can only assume that this is the reason).

Any advice?

The flybar weights tighten down on a little sleeve of plastic extending from "stabilizer control hub" (part 41 on your manual's exploded view) so at the same time you're tightening down the weights you are also tightening the flybar in place. Are you sure those little plastic nubs are still connected to the rectangular frame? When mine became separated, it took me a while to figure out exactly what was broken and why the flybar was so loose. But even it's it's fixed condition, while my flybar isn't at all loose or jiggly, I can still rotate it and adjust it by hand.

Thanks krefi, I will check that tonight.

Ah, looking at my replacement hub, I'm noticing that those plastic things are broken off and are inside the linkage tightening things. I'll replace it.
