Compass Knight 50 > Assembly question

What is the consensus on taking the preasssembled frame apart? Do I need to take every last bolt out and loctite or maybe just check some tightness and disassemble the head and tail? Are the thrust washers factory greased?

I had a few bolts come loose or come out on my Knight 50 3D so would suggest taking each one out and applying loctite. I didn't grease the thrust bearings thought - might as well just in case.

Not sure if Compass have addressed the poor loctite issue, Ade might pipe up.

Sorry for the long note, I didn't have time to write a short one.

no problems on mine.. all loctite.. had +- 10 flights now and still no problems

Head dampers etc all greased as well, you'll notice the tell tail grease sepage on blade grips after few flights.

i did check all other components (spot check) and all where fine. as in other post, only issue i had was clunk line that was torn, but was long enough just to re-attache

I checked all my frame bolts and they were all locktited properly on both my 3D's. On the first one I forgot to check the 2 bolts that go thru the headblock that the flybar carrier pivots on and guess which bolts didn't have any
