450 Super small screws

[Ken Jackson]

Careful with the screws holding the control liinkage to the slider on the 450 PRO tail. I lost one of the screws. They have a 1.27mm head but the size and thread is rare. Went through all my screws and I got nothing like it. So my 450 is benched until I get that screw. I haven't gotten this one in the air yet. Tail won't hold. I know the gyro is good so I may have lost that screw early on and didn't notice. I was afraid to take the tail apart and thread lock all the screws because I didn't want to get it too tight. So now I have to find an odd ball screw. I know a hardware store won't carry them (too small) probably have to order it from Align. Bummer.

Someone on here may have a spare they could send you

Yeah it's a T1.5 x 4 not an M thread, not the type they give spare ones too,

I didn't find 1.5mm but go here for 1.6mm Micro Fasteners :: Metric :: Machine Screws :: Socket Cap :: Stainless The DFC linkage rod is a 1.6, see if it will fit.

Fingers and toes.

Thanks guys, the guy who got me into flying says he thinks he has one. I'll check with him first but yeah would have been nice to have a spare or two in the kit.
