Echo what bigtim had to say. If it is the ailerons your talking about, mine did the very same thing. A quick fix is to poke a bunch of little pin holes all around the area where the torque rods go into the ailerons. Then you can use thin CA to wick into the pin holes around the torque rod. It's a little unsightly but you can put a small white patch to cover the pin holes. This method works pretty good & is much quicker & easier than re-grooving the torque rod channel for epoxy. Allthough Tim's method is probably a stronger & more permanent fix. That is exactly what I was gonna do until a buddy tipped me to the pin holes & thin CA. If it is the ailerons you should hear a flutter whenever you start to ring it out a bit. You can check it very easily by just getting a hold of the torque rod & if you can wiggle the aileron, then you've found your problem.
Now the flip side of this is that she has been on that NexStar for a good while now, has she thought about using the engine & radio gear out of it for a 4* 40??? [sm=idea.gif] Just an idea.
