I have set up my tail gearbox (closed) on my Stratus so that I have less than 5mm of play at the tip of the tail blades.
I noticed the other day that this had become almost 15mm so i removed the tailbox however when i checked the tail box off the model the play was still only 5mm so i then cheked the tail shaft and found the torque tube at the heli end had a little play in it whre it goes into white palstic cup on the Front input shaft #120-9
I replaced the white cup with a spare I had and that tightened everything up again, however after a full days flying the slack has returned.
Is this something I should worry about?
