Just finished setting up a used HBK 2 and noticed that the flybar is NOT 90 degrees to the blade holders. Is there a way to adjust this? On a nitro, you adjust the washout.

a used HBK....are you sure the spindle is not bent?? if not check the flybar holder...one of the hubs may be broken in the bearing

The MX 400 is the same diameter and 46 mm between threads. Not sure about the HBK2 until I pull it.

ToolsDoes everybody use the small precision nut drivers to get at the spindle nuts?

I found a deep socket set at princess auto that has the 5.5 mm in it for $10.00 if you have a store close by. Brian
Don't have Princess real close here so bought WiHa drivers made in Germany. Pulled the spindle out and it was twisted on both sides. It is shorter than the MX 400 . HBK2 will be on the bench for a week now waiting for parts.
