What's on your bench today?

Quick update before zombie mode.

Stripped 500 again out of curiosity and frustration. Found maingear slightly warped and a bit of wobble in OWB.
Found auto/umbrella gear shaft thingy to have a bit of a wobble and a slight bind in a certain spot every revolution.

Ordered parts. Rebuilt heli to make room and so nothing gets lost, tried a different set of tail blades again. No change.

Friday I'll be fitting, in this order, new maingear/auto gear, new OWB and plate, new mainshaft, new mainshaft bearing blocks, to replace the plastic ones, new front umbrella gears and shaft.

I'm then gonna give it a spin. If its sweet, great. If not I have a new TT and bearing kit. Hopefully that lot will sort it. Failing that it's back to the drawing board.
