| Wow......... I must be on drugs, my tailboom is aluminum. All this time i thought it was plastic. I want to apologize for my n00bish assumption that it was plastic. Thanks to all for correcting me and opening my eyes.
PP, I have yet to remove the grips and the feathering shaft but i did purchase the one that heliworld. Reinforced feathering spindle as well as a new rotor head and blade grips. I was waiting to change it all until I got some new thrust washers but with your comment i will go ahead and swap out the spindle now. I still have to order dampeners and thrust bearings as I want to change out the rotor head as well (already purchased). I also got the solid steel mainshaft because we did notice a very slight wobble at the top of the head when it was spooling down. My Swift has never liked spooling up or down on hard surfaces, grass or soft dirt or sand dampen the "shakes". I installed a set of Raptor .30 gear as the stock LG was even worse than what was shown on the video.
The "glitch only happened at the end of the vid, the other twitches are from my rudder inputs, I need to dummy down the piro rates for the tail. My TREX with a LT2100 is the same way, small movements........huge results.
I also have the 3rd bearing block upgrade but have decided to not use it until my flights are a bit smoother and glitch free. I will be taking it out Saturday for a shakedown test hover after checking the belt and lubing with silicone spray as well as the new main and feathering spindle.
Thanks again for the suggestions and much needed correction on the tailboom.
