Hi all.
I took my old head off today and examined the feathering shaft, taking it all apart. Bent of course. I was quite surprised to see all the bearings wee sealed. You could not grease them. Is this a sign of cheapness or a new design. All the videos I have watched so far regarding this clearly shows that the bearings need greasing but on this set that is impossible or am I missing something. On each grip there is three bearings each a different size, 4 thin washers and two things called cups but even the Align drawing does not show which way these are fitted. On the ends 2 small screws with small brass washers. The head is trashed but I was just getting to know how these things fit together. Are they all different? I suppose makers and designers have their own ideas. Is it worth keeping the bearings?
By the way new heli arrived today so I wil start stripping it down and putting it all back together. Cheers.
