Default Flybar loose?

I had a slight mishap today with my Axe CP. Had to replace a few parts, which meant removing the flybar. When I reinstalled it, it's quite loose. When I throttle up sometimes it rotates and acts as a windbrake with the paddles.

I've tried to tighten the two collars, pinching them together while I tighten the set screws, but it can still rotate.

Am I missing something, or is this movement typical?

i have a feeling you broke both little plastic ears off the flybar(the bits that are inside the flybar collars that get pinched), and thats the only thing that prevents it from spinning

this is one of the easiest parts to break on the axe just from assembly/disassembly as far as im concerned, and the only reason ive ever replaced a flybar

a drop of CA between the collars and the flybars, let it set, then adjust the paddles after the fact is a fix, tho it would make disassembly later difficult

Thanks mensaboy. That is exactly what has happened. I was thinking those small black pieces came inside the collars, but after review of the manual I see they are part of the flybar.

Thanks.
