You would'nt be laughing if you saw the target after.Dried goat manure pellets are way bigger than BB's

Welcome mirion,gary has a good point,buy quality bearings.I prefer ngk's.As to checking your bearings in the saito's you have,i don't just go by feel when you turn the prop over with the plug out,that can feel ok but you need to rock the prop at the tips back and forth at 90 deg to rotation.Gently grip the prop tips and rock back and forth,any play that can be heard by a clicking noise can also be felt.It's flyable if there is a tiny bit of play but the writing is on the wall.Cheers mate

Dave sounds cold/wintery over your way.They could sure use some of your weather in california right now poor buggers.Everything i hear here on the news sounds worse and worse
