Status: offline 		Hi!!

Sorry if this has been posted but I need some guidance. I was throttling up my Axe cp and one of the blade grips fell out of the main assembly. Luckily I noticed it right away and shut her down. I didn't lose the o rings or the washers. I managed to get it back together, but I am unsure how to tighten them so they don't come out again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Maybe some loc-tite would do the trick? Anyone else have some suggestions? I have to take mine out this weekend and replace a grip.

Status: offline 		I am going to have to replace the feathering spindle and screw. The screw on one end of the spindle broke off inside the feathering spindle. Good thing I ordered an extra which should be arriving tomorrow with the other spare parts I ordered. I just got the heli yesterday and this was the second time I throttled it up. I am thinking it got overtightened at the factory or something. I haven't flown it yet just taking it slow and using Radd's. I have contacted Heli-Max. I will definitely look into the hex- head screws and the blue loctite.

Thanks again!!!
