Maybe I'm just unlucky and have a bad production part, but the bronze bushing on the tailshaft broke in 2 pieces on the 6th flight.

Part nr. XT70028:


The bronze bushing is WAY to thin and flimsy, mine broke off at the threads, not happy with that.

Noticed my tail was acting funny, using 611 gyro and it would not hold in a turn, thinking it was my gain that was wrong, or my new metal tailblade holders, I landed and looked over the heli and found the bushing broken off at tail.

Lucky I didn't loose the tail completely in the air!

Hope they don't use the same bushing on the 90 version, part quality on this part (atleast on mine) is poor.

Mine broke during the build when I applied pressure with my thumb and finger on the sleeve to assure it was properly locked. It surprised me how easily it broke. I ordered a new one and was careful not to exert to much force on it. I also setup the sleeve to slide up and down as smooth as possible to not stress the bushing during flight. So far so good but I would agree that they should be beefed up a bit.

I have order a new one, is there any way to spot the difference from the old and the new one visually?

I managed to fly through this weekend, with the help from some parts from an hirobo sceadu tail. The brass bushing and the nut from the sceadu fits if you drill the metal pitch slider up to 6mm, and add a spacer on the tailshaft against the tail case.
