Default tight swash plate ball
my raptor 50 SE has a tight swash plate ball and is making my cyclic stick. is there any way to loosen up the swash ball? or do you guys now of a aftermarket one that is better than the stock one?

Sounds like it is sticking. I have used carborator cleaner to clean mine then a tiny bit of thrust bearing grease.

I had the same thing with my first raptor and replaced it with a QuickUK one that has proven flawless over 3 1/2 hears!
