Default RE: Exceed RC Eagle 50

If it was the receiver... that would be easily replaced... but I can understand.

As far as the swashplates separating... the top was is called the outer swashplate..
and the lower called the inner swashplate.

I had the problem on Eagle 50 #1 from the get go...
and Eagle 50 #2 just recently... I don't know if after getting banged up
some of the lubricant from the bearing gets on the outer swashplate part
that "plugs" into the lower swashplate... but the surface looks "wet".

I put a little bit of tissue paper in the hole of the bearing on the lower "inner" swashplate
before pushing them together on Eagle 50 #2 before flying the other day and
it stayed together through a bunch of hard landings and crashes.

And.. yes.. I have two Eagle 50's... one I'm keeping "fresh"... the other..
is my crash dummie (#2).
