Default R80 Elevator control screw keeps backing causing crash HELP!!!!!

Can someone please help me I keep losing the screw that has the sleeve on it that controls the elevator on my R80. This is the second time it has vibrated out, and you know the results when you have no elevator control, it just flips back and forward and loops it's way until it pounds into the ground The screw comes out while just hovering both times. Everything is balanced & trimmed like it should be no vibrations nose to tail.

I know what everyone is gonna say "yes I used blue loctite" that holds the screw into the pitch frame cross member. The first time it happended it only caused a cracked frame and gear. But this time it took out a lot of equip. I just need some insight because this is going to make me leave the hobby all together if this is what flying is all about I'm starting not to like it.

Any feedback from fellow raptor owners would be helpful.

Thanks
D
