As I was flying this weekend, I had the washout guide pins shift on me, which made for some interesting control interactions, on the recovery and landing. It literally shifted about 45º.

Jason, the Hirobo rep, said to use a bit of CA to hold it in place, and not to tighten the bolts down too hard, as it will crack the side of it, and the pins will be suspect for departing, although he said he had never seen one loose in flight.

Hope this saves some one some frustration

Even better, upgrade to the metal versions of it. It has 2 set screws into the main shaft and it looks better to boot!

Probably one of the few worthwhile upgrades on the Sceadu.
