JR Heli Vibe - Airskipper - Sylphide - Venture > Spindle problems with the Venture??

Have you guys noticed any problems with the Venture spindle bending easily?

I replaced my first one this week and then went out and flew a couple of times. The blades were tracking perfectly for a few flights. I then took it up for some aerobatics, a few flips, upside down hover, loops and stall turns. After that, in hovering I noticed the blades out to track a little?

I am going to ull the spindle tonight to see if it is bent. If it is, I will wonder if it is too soft?

I'm not saying there is a problem, just wondering if anyone else has had a problem in keeping their Venture blades tracking?

I did put some thrust bearings in and a metal swash (Raven).

maybe..

Why did you replace the first one? I had a similar problem with my venture with one particular set of blades. After switching them out I haven't had the problem any longer.

I pulled out the spindle and some buddies of mine and I saw that it was bent. I haven't pulled the second one yet though.

I am assuming that is may be bent, if not, I have some other problems that I need to fix.

I had a problem with my tracking going out of wack. After changing it to another set of woodies and then my carbon one, it turned out to be the first set of blades were out of wack. The 5mm spindle is very soft on the Venture compared to the 5mm one on the Raptor, I believe the Raptor V2's have 6mm spindles now.

I had the same problem with my blades going out of track and replace the spindle shaft and it was fine. The Raptor V2 spindle is bigger than the Ventures.
