| I have about 2mm of play in my flybar assembly, and not sure why either. If I twist the paddles gently, I can rock the ends of the paddles about 2mm up and down, not sure why. Any ideas anyone? It seems to be coming from the linkage between the flybar and the swashplate.
One thing I did that eliminated a lot of that play (described above) that clued me in was tighten the ball links on the backsides of the bellcrank next to the aileron and elevator servos... I am talking about the forward crank (of the two on each side) that the non adjustable pushrod attaches to. Each screw on the inboard side ball link ball was barely loose, and let the ball wobble around, causing quite a bit of slop in the elevator and aileron channels, which contributed to the flybar slop. I still have a little flybar slop, but the aileron and elev slop is gone. |
