Well in another thread I said I had great fun for two packs Sunday evening on my 500, well when flying the second pack my tail would kick maybe 2" when giving small changes in throttle like it was taking up slack then being ok, brought it down and checked it at field and it seemed ok but was not 100% happy, so had a look tonight and found the tail control arm ball loose,

And while I was there I could see a bit more play, and I found something quite alarming, 5 out of six screws in the tail control arms loose, now I know I thread locked them, but they were loose,
I have re done them now but sure as hell I will be checking them after the next few flights, dam right,
