Default Head problem

Iput it al lback together as i did it immediately so i would not get lost in it plus Iused the parts break down which came with the manual. Felt stif but was not sure. Went to try it out and was not right could get off the ground with out it seemingly wanted to go out of control.

So I took it apart again. First off the see saw effect of the fly bar was very stif. i don't recall this before. So I loosened the 2 screws a tad that hold that thing up on top and everything loosened up immediately. I thought I had the grips to tight but that was not it.

So I am guessing these two screws are the culprit????

I always tighten my screws with locktight on them and then back out just a touch (1/8 or 1/4 turn), I"m not sure how much, until it feels right..

That was it, those two little screws were too tight not allowing the fly bar to move free and loose. i just tried it here in the house. Before, all it would do is want to slide left regardless. Now it seems normal so i think I'm in good shape.
