700LE Paddles

[J-S-Q]

Does anyone use anything special to fit the paddles on the flybar or is it just a case of blue Loktite (on both the flybar and the set screws)? The paddles seem a lot looser on the flybar compared to a 600N.

No just on the set screws here

All I have ever done

I only use the small set screws but have to add that they dont appear at all loose!

That dosent sound right!

The only ones I used locktite with were the Torsion paddles on the 700

Mine are a little loose too, can twist them with just grub screws done up. I havnt put any glue on them yet though.

Ok thanks for the replies. Blue Loktite it is but I still reckon I'll put some on the flybar as well as the set screw. This is not something I've done on other helis but like I said they're just a fraction looser than I would have expected.

I'm also wondering about the boom supports... I've red one or two people suggesting that you use red Loktite on them as they are known to occasionally vibrate loose. Anyone had a problem here or does blue Loktite suffice?

Yeh the boom supports can come loose or fall off, so red locktight here is recomended

my origional paddles kept working loose no mater what I was using gave up in the end and moved to another make, but I have to say I didnt use threadlock on the flybar itself. that could help
