How tight? part 2
To piggyback on my previous question...how tight should the screws be that go into the main head and into the see saw be? The tighter these are, the less play the flybar has

RE: How tight? part 2
Same as for the washout arms-- there's a tophat bushing there on the original rotor head that is supposed to let you tighten the screws down without binding up. I've had mixed success with that, though. If the bushings wear or compress, then you can't tighten the screws down, the flybar will wobble as you mention, and flight performance and stability will suffer.
There's an upgrade rotor hub at tower (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXMRF4&P=OW) that replaces the bushing with proper bearings and works better. The MX should have had this hub to start with, imo.
