dum dum does something very dumb

well i had a crack at tracking rotor blades on my king 3 the links dont just pop of the swashs ball links like what im use they littery screw onto the non rotary swash with an allen key screw anyway i overtightend the screw on ball link now i need a new swash or can i just super glue screw on ball link back in?

Never use superglue to fix helicopters like that. Best to purchase a new part.

[Martyn (Bomber)]

It's never worth the risk, like Laurence said.....new part

[Cagey]

+1 on what Laurence says. Once threads are stripped it's kaput. Do you have a pair of ball link pliers ? I ask because I've had new ball ends that were so tight I couldn't undo them by hand. I'm not familiar with the King 3, but can't see how else they can be separated if you only want to replace a broken end fitting.

what cagey says sounds about right the link was to stiff to take off by hand so i unscrewed the actuall ball link on the swash plate then stripped the threads when i retightend

[rossb863]
