The coulpers with the one way bearings don't matter either. they can only go one way. the bearings are installed in the same direction in all couplers so when installed installed on the heli they will drive the right way.

UPDATE--i tested it out today--i was being safe and test hovering (thank goodness)when i heard a pop--hit hold-landed. both pitch links for the tail broke clean off i will have a better chance to look it over on monday. i hate mechanical failures.

you must have had a serious binding in the tail to cause both links to pop. synergy links are known to stay connected !
i will see if i can get a picture-but it seems if one of the balls broke off-im guessing taking out the other side in the process. everything seems smooth-nothing obvious other then the broken ball- thanks for any input guys.

well one of the balls did break-if i had to guess i overcranked it i can not see anything else that could have caused this issue. now the real problem is how to get the broken piece out of the grip? it is broken off below the top and is very little-yikes.
