Align T-REX 600N 700N > T-REX 700N Tail Bearing Slop

Ok, so I have already 10 flights on this thing. I already have one compliant. The tail shaft that goes through the pictured bearing has already developed slop. There is a bit of movement between the in bearing and the bearing on the other side.

I have not hit the tail yet, from an auto or hard landing. This has developed rather quickly from flying around. My Spartan gyro has the gain adjusted to avoid these issues.Could it be we are seeing low quality bearing on these kits again

I would hate to see this happen like the 600's. If anyone else has the same problem, if so please let us know.

This was just my observation after looking at it; also know hard 3D up to this point.

Mine had a tiny amount of play, which has nothing to do with the bearings. I used a shim on the shaft to remove the play and now it's very smooth but no side to side motion.
My 600N has close to 400 flights on it , with zero play, so tail output shaft bearings used by Align are sure enough quality.

Fly non-stop till your brain fizzles !
