Default Tail pitch slider loosened

When doing some checks after a few flights I noticed there was a lot of play on the tail. I noticed the arms could slip for 0.5mm on the copper bushing. I will order a spare, but since the weekend is coming up, I applied a bit of Zap on the edges. Hopefully this will do. Anyone else experienced this?

Don't have the 380 yet but do have the Mini and I believe they're similar.

Are you talking about where it attaches to the grip? If so did you try snugging the bolt up?? Think if that gets overtightened just a hair then it can damage the threads. Received a used one that had that problem but using a tiny bit of high quality CA fixed it good enough to use, just keep an eye on it.

Apologize if that's not what you're talking about.

(Edit)
Pic just showed up. Nevermind, can't say I've seen that before. My internet is running excruciatingly slow this morning for some reason. My carrier likes to rip me off with slow speed 2 days before my service renews for the month.

Thanks for the reply. Did about a dozen flights after the fix, and all is still ok. I'm going to keep it like this.

I had the same thing happen. I just replaced it. But I kept the old one so I will try this to see if I can make it a good spare part.
