e-Align T-REX 450-500-600 > Feathering spindle too short?

Hello,

It seems like my feathering spindle is too short (40mm). I'm using 2 ball bearings in each of the main blade grips. If the spindle is centered to the main housing, the ends just go up to the first bearing. I can't get the screw flush with the top bearing and spindle end. Am I doing something wrong?

your bearings need to be fully seated in the grips. Mine were pretty tight. try pressing them in harder .

Mapmanufacturer,

Actually in that site, the bearings look like it was just flush against the top entrance inside the blade grip (which I did). Actually it should be pushed further inside. Alot further.
