Loose swash

[flyingquisinart]

Hi,
After many flights I'm getting some slop in the linkage coming from a few places. It still flies fine, but the fact that aggressive FB blades wouldn't even track, tells me I need to tighten things up. (My Rails track perfectly still, but have a forward CG).

I have the RNFBL setup.

I have an ancient Tiger 50 swash in my parts bin with relatively low flight time. Is the Pantera swash revamped / improved over the Tiger or basically the same?

EDIT.. My Tiger swash plate has as much play.. Won't be using that...

Also, I'm thinking of doing a different head or head/swash combo if I get better performance with the better geometry. But on the other hand, it may not really fly noticeably better, and I'm not one for bling. I've seen some folks have used the Align head and grips. Thoughts?

where is the slop at?

Play in the swashplate is generally a non-issue because it loads up. Anyway, I would first check the transfer arm and make sure the bolt isn't backing out because you're describing a classic symptom.
