main rotor play

[stark]

hi,

does anyone have rotational play in the main rotor/shaft if you hold the main gear and tail pulley tight? It seems to be caused by the difference in jesus bolt's outer diameter and main shafts inner diameter for the jesus bolt.

When I first set up my Atom I tightened the bolt just tight enough so it had zero play and not enough to warp the gear. And after a handful of flights it would loosen on its own. I asked the same question and was told a little play is ok, and never gave me any issues I am aware of! My Gaui x4ii has the same play and again have not had any issues due to the slop!

Thanks FlyBri3,

I changed my main shaft and the play was a lot less but still there. As you say that it doesn't affect flight i'll stop worrying about it .

cheers,
