I haven't been paying much attention to my raptor lately but when i fly it the flybar twists round and the paddles end up vertical does anyone know what could be wrong. I'm goin to strip it down now but just thought i'd asked to save some time.

the hex screws that hold the control arms are not on the flat spot and are not tight. I would put the upgraded metal arms on that control the flywheel and makes sure the bolts are tight and locktited. Makes a huge diff

HI THERE!
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR NOT SETTING UP THE FLYBAR RIGHT ON THE MACHINE. THERE ARE TWO FLAT SPOTS ON THE FLY BAR WHERE THE SET SCREWS LOCK IT IN PLACE MAKE SURE THAT THEIR FACING UP, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE FLAT SPOT BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE SET SCREW (REFER TO MANUAL!) AND ADD A DROP OF BLUE LOCK TIGHT ON THE SCREW.

its not that, thats what i expected it would be but as i said its not. Any other ideas?

By the way its not just the flybar that moves the oval linkages along the side of the swashplate and main shaft move as well. I can wobble the paddles about and the linkages move with it without any servo movement

maybe you washout asmbly is warn out. also check the set screws in the leading edge of the flybar paddles, perhaps the paddles are rotating on the flybar

I SUGGEST THAT YOU INSPECT THE WHOLE CYCLIC SYSTEM, YOU SHOULD START WITH THE SERVO'S YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH PLAY ON A STOCK RAPTOR YOU COULD BE MISSING A FEW TEETH ON THE SERVO GEARS AND MAKE SURE ALL YOUR BALL LINKS ARE TIGHT.

GOOD LUCK!
SAUL.

Sounds to me like you should get help from someone that knows how to get the thing set up right. Would make things so much easier.
