Which locktite to use?

Loctite 243. Do not use Loctite on screws that screw into plastic..it weakens the plastic. DO NOT use RED Loctite.

Read the Loctite instructions and your heli instructions. These may contain warnings about the use of the Loctite

The Flybar Control Arm (coming loose) screws fit into a metal (ALU) Washout base

I use blue locktite, but as mentioned on use locktite on metal screws into metal. Inserting into plastic weakens it. If your wanting to fix a screw into plastic put a tiny bit of super glue onto the thread and quickly insert. There is a misconception that you need cover the screw with thread lock to get a solid fix. You only need to put a small amount on the trick is to ensure that you get it into the thread were its needed.

Another trick if you have some small spring washer, but you might have to get a slightly longer bolt to compensate for the spring washer's thickness. This with a small bit of locktite will keep it in for sure.
