Linkages keep falling off

[Rockers]

Hi HeliFreaks
Today all of a sudden, one of the linkages that connect to the swash plate keeps falling of. I assume that replacing them with a new set will fix the problem, anyone else experience this type of issue before and if so, what did you replace to fix it, the linkages, the swash plate or both.

Thought i would ask the question before spending money.

Try gently squeezing the outsides of the linkage with a pair of pliers so make it look a bit more like an oval than an "o". No guarantees on this though... you might just need a new linkage.

Thanks Steve, I was going to try just that, but will order a new set of linkages anyway.

As usual Steve, good advice. A slight pinch on the linkage made a remarkable difference. As I have mentioned previously in other posts, nice to be wearing parts out rather than breaking them because I slammed the little fella into a wall

Which reminds me, I reckon its time to pull it down to bare bones, straighten the main shaft and do some general maintenance. I love this little heli, may have to buy another so that I always have one flying, and one on the bench.
