Wow... Just found another issue. All the screws holding the tail boom clamp are loose.

The 3M is what I use too. You can get it at Walmart for like $4.00 for 4 or 5 feet of it.

That's right. Or get lucky like I did and find several rolls for $2 each.

I just had a thought. The oil I have put on my swash bearing could have degraded the plastic on the servo case. Maybe caused the control arm to crack too. I didn't think that I put too much oil but I suppose it could have slung out.

I use Dry Fluids Heli on all of mine. It`s a little pricey... $17.99 for 10ml, but it goes a long way, and it will not collect dust and dirt, and won`t hurt plastic parts.

OH MAN! Sounds like it`s time for a complete tear down and full inspection on that one.

I'm in the process of going through a tear-down and full inspection of my Gaui X3. I just finished my rebuild of the XLPower 500 after a crash. I've noticed a few things that upon inspection didn't notice before. It's worst the extra time on the ground before you find a mistake in the air.

Yes. This little buddy won't see air until I check every screw, nut, ball joint, and linkage.
