Build query
Im just about to start building my Xxtreme 700. I received it on xmas eve and have spent a bit of time looking over the manual and the parts..
One thing ive noticed is there is a support CF plate which is lodged under the rear of top main shaft bearing block, running at an angle down to the rear of the 2nd bearing block which is loose. It slides/wiggles in the cutout slots used to retain the support piece. Ive been able to determine whether during the build this support will be engaged somehow to remove the play or whether i should secure it now before i start placing all the electronics, gears...etc on the heli as it might make the task difficult at the end... |

This may sound kinda funny, but don't worry about it. In the many Logo 700's we've built, that frame brace is notorious for being loose. There is nothing wrong with gluing it in of course, although we've never glued any of the braces, due to the difficulty of getting things apart later to replace a frame side if needed.
The frames (occasional loose brace and all), have always been stiff enough for the task at hand, and have never caused us any issues. (-: Dave |

Oh ok...
I thought it would end up being like a ball bearing in a rattle can and muck up the vbar... Ill just ignore it and get going with the build.. Thanks so much for the tip. I cant wait to get her flying.... |

It turns out once i fitted the servos the play in that C/F support brace was removed as the back of the pitch and aileron servos push against the plate holding it in position.
Im using Outrage Torq /MKS servos. Maybe other servo brands arnt as deep.. |

Im having bit of trouble getting my torq servos in as they hit the carbon plate and put a bit of pressure on it when i tighten the servo down, using the rubber grommets and brass bushing as well on servo, think going to have to remove some of the carbon plate
