| Went to fly at lunch time and noticed the swash or washout making a rubbing noise when moving the stick up and down. I found one of the pins was tight against the washout and then saw that the phasing ring was cracked on both sides on the top of the set screws. Looking at the ring and the location of the set screws, the holds were tapped off center not leaving vary much meat on the top. I'm sure I caused this by tightening the set screws, but don't think they would have cracked if the holes would have been tapped in the center of the ring. It wouldn't hurt a thing if the ring were wider, then there would be more metal above and below the set screws. If it were made out of steel, would be even better and couldn't possibly add that much weight. Motion Unlimited doesn't have any in stock, so I've resorted to a Hirobo phasing ring from Ron's HP South.
The pic of the phasing ring on the Motion Unlimited site, even shows the holes off center. Someone might bring this to Blitz's attention, be interesting to see what they have to say about it.
