Sorry Kruser, I'm going to have to disagree. While some whiteness is normal, it is also an indication of wear on the inside collar of the flybar and it's because it's carbon fiber. After about 50 flights with one flybar, I pulled mine because of TBE and the hole was clearly out of round. The only way that can happen deals with friction on the main shaft and the abrasiveness of the carbon fiber on the plastic collar. Next time I replace a flybar, I'm going to put some very, very thin clear lacquer on the mating point and see how that goes.

no, mine has alot of whiteness. this is normal. eflight would have taken this into consideration too. you simply push down on the flybar. carbon fiber is alot stronger than the soft plastic used in the flybar. the flybar simply has to move up and down freely. it should not matter at all. and considering his is fairly new. mine has well over 100 flights and many crashes using the same flybar. they do not bend easily. i would have tbe after every crash. you just have to use the tool properly, loosen blade grips and make sure the flybar moves freely. all i am saying is the main shaft is not the problem. there are very few things that can cause tbe on the msr.
