| Ok, couple of things here. There are lots of info on the head flip, won't get into that don't have the time right now. If you can't wait you can do a search for it here or check out several websites on it. I'm assembling my second raptor and although my first one needed flipping to fix a few wierd quirks i am not assembling my 2nd one "flipped" until I fly it first. Go by the book first then do the mod if you have problems, my advice on that.
You mentioned bushings in your first post. If you have bushings, and not the full bearing kit, then you may get binding on that bolt if oyu tighten it down real tight. The solution would be to get the bearing upgrade, or back that screw off a touch and loctite it there. You should loctite them anyway. Same goes for any other place you have bushings and not bearings. I would spend the money and get the bearing upgrade myself, small price to pay for a big improvement.
On your second post, you pulled the threaded rod out of the black ball link end? woah, that was a crash waiting to happen. If I got this wrong let me know, but it sounds like that's what you did. It must have been defective and no they are not supposed to do that. If you just snapped the link off of a ball then thats ok as long as it took some force.
