Are you experiencing much slop/movement with the seesaw holder? Primarily where the seesaw holder bearings sit? Mine has a good amount of play in this area of the cast aluminum where the bearings sit. Seems this will effect the stability and precision of main blade pitch and tracking.

What do you think? :confusion:

I noticed on my Trex500 and my 250 that there was slop where you could attempt to "rotate" the flybar while holding the main blade holders still. I probably get about 2-3 degrees of play. My 250 was a LOT worse, it had about 7 degrees of slop. I replaced the flybar holder and flybar cage when doing my head overhaul and it is considerably tighter now. I didn't notice too much of a difference in performance, maybe the helicopter is a tad bit more responsive to cyclic now, but it is hard to say without getting a few more flights in.

If you are talking about other slop, you'll have to elaborate.
