Play in fly bar cage.. Normal?

Play in fly bar cage. (0 min 43 sec)

Had a good day today & wanted to check my heli over good afterwards, been a bit since I really went over it. Noticed some horizontal movement in the cage. It's not terrible. I don't notice vibrations. But never noticed this before! What do you all think? Normal our problem? Hope the link works, I'm on my phone..

Whats a flybar?

Never mind. Different play than I experienced. But it looks like you are missing the brass spacers with shoulders. If that's not the case, you can easily eliminate that play by squeezing the cage together while tightening the set screws.

Will do. Washers never been out, that I know of... I'll try tightening it.
Done deal.
I've pushed 3 new flybars through it, never lost a washer that way. Tight now. Don't no why I didn't try that to begin with, lol. Haha, oh well. Thanx Being.
Figured I would make sure all was good. Now it is!
And I know..., my next heli will never know what a fly bar is or does!

Seems you're missing the seesaw washers. Would do that exact play.

Should be almost play free.

Yeah, but what did the Tarot head have to do with the blades breaking? Plus I have 100+ flights with those blades with out an issue. Definitely concerning though.
