I think I got lucky today
I was flying my Raptor 90 3d today. The blade tracking was a little off. Maybe 2 blade widths. I didn't notice this until the end of the flight. Since there was no vibration I thought nothing of it and flew it again. Then the thought of the blade tracking being off is not just a random thing. Something must be wrong. So I land it.
Turns out my swash plate has play in it. The rotating swash and the fixed swash have about 1 to 2mm play when you rock it side to side. I haven't takin the swash plate off yet. Is this something that can be fixed or do I just need to buy a new swash plate? |

The swash on my SE allows you to tighten up the slop. There is a small bolt on the outer ring that you can adjust the play with.
