Blade 130x swashplate problem.

[gtfreight]

For the second time in a month the bearing has detached from the housing on the swashplate. I am worried that if I try to stick it in the housing with super glue I may get a bit in the bearing so I'm thinking that I need to get a replacement but would like to know whether this is an inherent problem with this heli' and if so which upgrade would be best recommended?

Rakon is the one I would choose if you don't crash a lot. If you do then go for micro heli, a little bit heavier but stronger. Can't comment on lynx ad I haven't found the need yet to try it.

Just pop it back in - works most of the time. After a few crashes, mine kept popping out every crash so I replaced it. CA glue sounds like a recipe for disaster to me ....

+1 I tried ca and it just did not help. As Tomatwldon said it was OK just refitting it a few times but when it comes out every crash it's time to replace. (I replaced with the standard item, there is no need IMO for an upgrade).
good luck.

I replaced with standard too. Personally not convinced that bling swashplates make that much difference, and they certainly don't to my level of flying ....

Thanks for the help. As suggested, I will carry on with it until it pops out after every crash and then I will replace it with a standard one.
