Minnzoo,

I really like the "pimped" out canopy mod. Can you give some more pictures on inside showing how you held the piece in place??

Thanks.

I'm also still waiting for one of you to send me your hd to take for a test flight....and a Jeti tx!

I'm patient...

I used nylon screws, spacers and nuts from HK.

Between the top and bottom plates or pieces I just noticed there a lot of axial play or wobble. (At least when I compare it to the swash on a couple of my Trex's there is.). Can this be tightened up and if so a brief description as to how would be appreciated. Heli is still new and unflown. I was just starting the head setup and noticed this sloppiness in the swash. I can get a video clip / link of the movement up on YouTube if you would like to see it.
Thanks
RG

Here is a video of the movement. It doesn't look like much in the video but compared to other swash plates I have, it is a lot of movement. I didn't pull the swash apart when I began the assembly. I did pull the 2 top screws and applied loctite as well as the 3 bottom screws.

All thoughts are greatly appreciated. RG

That is strange. Did you try taking the swash apart to see what went awry? I would start a new threat stating your problem, you might have better luck getting Yuengling's attention.

Jens is already informed. I sent him the video link.

Thanks guys - I emailed Heli Direct last night and this morning I already had a RMA in my inbox. Nice customer service.

Hard to tell anything when you do it with your fingers...at least for me.

Sorry for any Home-Depots or Lowe runs :-)

Just a thought, I could cut a bunch out in different colored g10 if you were to share the .dwg CAD file. I would alter it just a touch so that I wouldn't be making factory copied parts of course.
