RE: Heli stuff and fellowship
Hey Jay, thanks for the description of the rudder system, it's an awesome bit of technology for heli's.
Ya, you're right about the swash, I'd hate to crash because of swash coming apart too, but I'll give it a shot first, and if it starts to get the slightest amount of play, I'll take it off. Bearings can get pretty loose before they start falling apart, so I'll give a run and see what happens after a couple flights. It's really not worth it for me to ship internationally. It's probably best to order a $7 bearing locally than to try and return the whole swash. But ya, you're right, a bad bearing could cause a lot of problems, but I'll try it out carefully.
Hope the best for those in the path of FAY.
