Default MCP X alloy upgrades

I started to get a bit of a wobble on my mcpx there was play in the swash plate and i have heard reports of blades flying off ,

i have used microheli precision alloy swashplate and blade holders the swash is i little bit heavier than the stock but the CNC blade holders are much lighter than the plastic ones so overall it comes in just about the same as stock weight but looks a lot better and flys well again

I also have the microheli swash on my mcpx...broke the rear swash ball on 2 of the Eflight swashes due to tail blow outs. I have since done the boom extension mod and it has greatly reduced tail blow outs.

One thing to keep in mind with the microheli swash...the design of the rear servo doesn't have any kind of bend in the linkage (as do the front servo linkages) so in a typical crash the force is transferred to that swashball and the servo. The swashball is the weak link in that it breaks easily dissapaiting the energy. Now with the metal ball on the microheli swash all the energy involved in a crash will be probably transferred to the servo now. Does this mean greater servo failures? Time will tell.
