Default sloppy swashplate
The swashplate on my mostro nitro seems to have developed a lot of slop between the two halves. its about six flights old and im worried it may separate completely. Has anyone successfully tightened one back up and how is it done?

cheers Tony

Sounds like bearing not seated properly at factory and needs to be pushed back in.

I know a guy who is hot with these type of things so if you do get stuck send it to me and will send it across to him to have a look to see if it is recoverable.

The upper and lower sections of a Mostro swashplate thread together. Mine unthreaded during a flight causing $700 worth of damage. I have a friend that noticed his separating as well, so he repaired it right away. Something to definitely be careful about.
