I'm currently building a razor 600E, I'm at the point where the main gear and main shaft are placed in the airframe. After following the instructions I have some vertical play in the main gear. There is no play in the main shaft. Has anyone had this issue, and if so what did you do to correct it?
Also, The build plans on MA's internet site that I downloaded show different shims for this part of the build than what's on the disk that came with my kit.

Thanks in advance,

Don

Yeah I also noticed some vertical play in the main gear (not main shaft) after building it per the instructions. I tried shimming it out during the build but it generated some friction so I left it as is. So far I've had zero issues with the play in mine and over 40 flights. I'm curious to hear if others have done anything about it.

Chachin,

Thanks for the reply, I read the razor build that you did, great job. The play isn't that much, and there is none in the shaft, I just wanted to see if anyone had this issue.

Thanks again.

Both of my Razors have a slight amount of play...it will not matter.

Thanks for the reply, apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. I guess I'll have to fly it and see.
