Looks nice,

but what is the set screw for ? and where is it ?
The washout base needs to be moving up and down the main shaft so I don't understand what the set screw is for ?

Thanks

My stock block wore out, causing way more slop and causing the blades to go in and out of track. Put on a new one and it went away...wish I knew about this one sooner. Looks sweet.

yeah, I've ordered one for each Lepton. These leptons need so little to be great ships---and this will be a nice upgrade. I'll post how it works when I get 'em. Tom

Would slop in the radius block makes the heli pitch up and down in forward flight?
My slop is both side to side and up and down. I don't have alot of flights and noticed quite abit of slop with the block goes inside the main mast.

Ok this post was back in July and the item description is still not updated? Since it does not come with a set screw as described I expect a $10 discount.

you cant use a set screw on the lepton block because it slides up and down

I know this I was being sarcastic because this was pointed out back in september but they still have not removed the set screw from the item description on their website. So if I order it Im obviously not going to get a set screw so they can knock off $5 or $10 for the "missing" item.

Did I really have to explain this?
