Yeah that sucks for sure. You dont want to fly it till you get sorted first. Otherwise you might replace much more than a shaft or 2. Ask my $50 SpinBlades that were smashed due to tip over takeoff caused by a bent main shaft.

Wait for the shafts and make sure everything runs smooth, its not worth taking a chance and freaking out the FBL.. Tight meshes in the tail gears will vibrate like mad, so make sure all is running smooth...

My 450 is like that too, same exact thing.
It still flies great, though. If it gets worse i'll probably look into swapping the main shaft but for the moment i'm happy with it, the BeastX responds great and doesn't do anything funky even with that wobble in the swash.

I'm kind of surprised align would have that issue with their kits. A bad swash plate? There's no excuse for that. Yes I'll order a new swashplate and main shaft and if it doesn't fix it I'm just going to do what you did and just fly it anyway

(Forgot to say that i bought it used though, don't know if it's a factory defect or not in my particular case!)

Ive had a few different align swashes and they all seem to have a bit of slop. At first they might be tight but after a flight or two the slop starts. So instead of buying align swashes ive started buying tarots dfc swashes and they dont seem to have any slop so far and they are half the price as aligns.

My swash does the same. The plastic part that holds the ball is not "perfectly" centered. I tried disassembling the swash, because I believed the plastic bit was two pieces sandwiched that could be adjusted. I couldn't get it apart to see...
The heli fly's fine. I do suspect that it could be bad on the servos though... |

Mine does the same as well. Mine was a new kit and I even contacted aligntrexstore about it before flying it. They said that the slop was normal and all the swashes have it so I have just been flying mine. I did buy a new align swash and it has the same slop in it. Ill take a vid of mine maybe tomorrow. Mine is flying great so far just trying to figure out the tuning on the gpro.

I don't think the OP's problem is with slop. I think it is centering of the ball that the shaft goes through in the upper swash. That is my problem which is causing what I see in the video.
I do consider a little slop normal, but this is a fixed predictable oscillation of the swash as the shaft rotates, not caused by random movement due to slop. |

Mine is the same as the one in the video. Flys with no noticeable side effects. On spool down it has a slight vibration though. |

Ive just noticed that my align swash that I got recently does this but a little worse. I think it was causing my blades to go in and out of tracking and cause erratic collective changes without any real input. I switched it to a tarot dfc swash and really tgink I might be done w aligns swash for now. 30 bucks a pop and they all have slop in them. Tarots are half the price and seem to have alot less play. Just my two cents though.

W my align swash installed my heli would drop w little to no collective input and then it would take quite a bit of collective to get it back to where it was before. It felt like it had expo on the collective around center. Very weird feeling.
Now w new dampers, thrust bearings, slop free wash it is very sensitive on the collective. Doesnt take much of an input and it jumps right to it. Much better than the align swash at half the price!
