Well, I thought about that broken ball on the fly paddle frame and put on my Arkansas Engineer hat and got my saftey wire and pliers and rigged that thing so it'll work. And now wouldn't you know... That thing will take off and hover pretty good. It's much more stable for some reason even though the battery was getting low by the last flight. I'm recharging the battery now and will give it another go with a full charge. It's not intended to be a permanent fix. I just wasn't finished flying yet . But nothing important can be damaged by the wire mod so I'll leave it like that as long as it works. That swash plate link was the one popping off all the time anyway. Things that make you say hmmm...
