thanks, ace, i figured out what you are referring to and ur right, i broke it while removing the flybar. i thought its just a part of that aluminum weight-like. put some tape to hold the flybar with the flybar-link. and hoping to would be ok...

Hi JD, I read a post where they were talkin about the Flybar Control Tray. I hope the tape can hold the pressure of the centrifical force. Did it break in a crash ? or suddenly just give up and break ? I hope it wasn't in the air when it happened... Dennis

JD,
I share Dennis' concern about the tape holding. That part is under a great deal of stress, both from vibration and air loads. I would strongly suggest replacing it.

evan the stock piece is weak, when I realized mine was broke, I repaired it my self. I have many tools at my disposel, This repair can easliy be done with a drill, and a vise. take off the lock collar, drill a small hole in the aluminum collar about 3/4 of the way down on the inside, than drill at the same offset, and the same size drill bit into the flybar cage. Now what I did, I had a very small drill bit, and one slightly bigger. I drilled the holes like we just talked about, and than cut a piece of the bigger drill bit about 1/4 long, than press it in the lock collar hard. You can do the same thing using a needle, or paper clip, or something like that, just dill the hole slightly smaller than the object you are using. (you must keep the broken plastic piece in the center of the lock collar for it to still fit on your flybar.) than insert the lock collar back on the flybar, and insert new locking pin into the flybar cage. Repeat on other side, and no more breaking of that part.

I kept it on mine, it worked awesome, it also makes it easy to disassemble and reassemble. You can just remove 1 collar and slide the flybar out, and the other one is used for reference so when you install the flybar it goes back in the same spot.
