Default RE: Heli stuff and fellowship

I always replace the screws with socket heads when I can. SOOO much easier to work with.

David, I checked mine and they are snug with no play. Pull the head down and make sure the bolts have not cone loose. I found one of mine loose during the assembly. While I had it down I greased my 4 dampers and it makes them last longer. A lot of folks are installing the Youngblood dampers. Look at you head and see if the damper seal/ spacer is letting the damper ooz out. The big end goes toward the center block to secure the dampers in. My swash is fine so far. I only have about 100 flights so far. It sounds like your swash is binding in extrem manuvers in the corners causing the teflon to dent. Get on of the transmitter donut to put on you transmitter's right stick and it will keep you out of the corners. Also make sure that the swash is not binding on the shaft retainer ring when you go to full neg pitch.

Did you use the stock swash when you replaced it or did you use an Align part?
