Got the Benzin for a few months and finally installing all the electronic and completing the vario. Upon installing the swatch plate linkages to the servos, I notice it's very hard to push up and down the swatch plate on the main shaft and I isolated the problem to be the sleeve on the main shaft that goes up and down together with the swatch plate, with the 2 arm connecting to the flybar. Is the normal for a new vario? Does it simply need some need a few flights to break it in?

The DS8311 servos are strong enough to to function properly, but I am afraid since it's quite tight, the linkage rods might snap during flights.

You are talking about part number 71A right? Change it for a metal upgrade P/N 71/4. Do not fly your heli if this is as tight as you have described.

FCM,

Problem resolved. It was due to the screw for the wash out is a bit tight. I loosed it just a bit and it's smooth now.

That's good - so long as you didn't try and fly the thing with it all binding up

The upgrade is worth doing though when you next order some spares.
