Default Blade Grip Levers

Hey guys

Following my last enormous crash I have finally got her back in the air and flying sweet.

BUT

On reassembly I noticed one blade reporting -7deg pitch at mid stick. On closer inspection I found I had bent the lever that screws onto the CNC blade grip. I have straightened it (with a bloody great hammer ) and its OK for now.

I recall someone on this forum linked to the replacement part at some stage but I cannot find it.

Does anyone know where I can buy the CNC lever only...not the complete grip?

Top question Flinto, I'd like to know the answer to this one as well. Same thing happened to me - I have one link shorter than the other to compensate for the slight bend. I have straightened it a couple of times & don't want to do it again - it might break!!

Cheers
Graeme

Gotta love Goggle.....

I need to check mine because when resetting my head one blade was 2 deg off from the other with the same length rods....I put it off to blade twist, but now I have to check and see if the levers are bent.....I flew it with no problems and the blades tracked fine, But they may have bent in my last crash and I just compensated for it with the rod length.

Before you order just the links, check to make sure you can get the screws out to replace just the link. Mine are in TIGHT.

Ahhh that would be me... but I see that other 'freaks have sorted you out with some links so I won't bore you with more e-shopping URLs..

Yes.. that 'lever' does see to take the brunt when you pile it in big time but thankfully Gaui do seem to have seen the light because (first) it is replaceable - not part of the CNC grip - and then they actually DO sell them separately.

Same here. I had bent the lever and I had straightened it back.... Works like new now
