Default T-Rex problem - Flybar Control Arm

Stripped out the threads of the aluminum insert in the flybar control arm. Didn't even lean on it trying to tighten. Almost as if it was already bad. Who knows. Set screws were already in the arm.

Anyway to fix other than ordering a new one?? Currently it will not get tight enough on the flybar to work.

Wondered if Locktite (green??) would work.

Mine did it too. I thought about tapping it for a 4mm set screw. Instead I just got it as tight as I could and then gooped in some locktite. So far it's been holding. But next time I order parts, I'm going to get a new one.
