the lil heli I love to hate.

I'm preparing to do a servo change from the 03s to the 02s on mine, since one lost it's center and now vibrates. I have a metal head set on it and have noticed that the head is able to rotate slightly on the shaft. It has some rotational slop, if that makes since. No slop in any other direction. I was wondering if that is normal or if there is a problem with this metal head set. I don't see where it would be much of an issue would it? once it is spinning it should be locked in place right?

Thanks

I just replaced my metal head and it is pretty tight on the shaft. I can't see how a bit of rotational slop would impact flight performance. The only thing that is being off-set is the relationship of the head to the main gear... which doesn't matter.
