Co-Pilot FS-8 eCCPM setup to prevent binding
Start with proper channel assignment: Do not use less than 50% AFR values during setup for the swash parameters (on a 9CH). You can move the AFR values back to where you had them once the co-pilot recognizes your eCCPM configuration. Make sure your screen is similar to mine (50% on CH1 and CH6, 100% on CH2 - for Elevator cyclic)
Make sure there is no binding with co-pilot off. Adjust head and swashplate normally.
Applying full cylic with co-pilot off. Notice total throw.
Using co-pilot to apply full cyclic. Same total throw with gain properly reduced.
Gain at receiver pots.

Some Of My Finest Hours

Did the best I could to keep the needles in check. Wasn't enough!
Very sensitive on Coolpower 15%. Not recommended!

Mini-Max fix
Reassembling a Hummingbird Tail Motor Endbell
Micro Ball Link Removal Tool
Start with household tweezers. Make sure they are at least 6mm wide at the fat section. I bought mine at the dollar store for 50 cents.
Now cut, file or grind both ends until you reach the widest section. Mark where the hole will go and use a 2mm bit to drill through both plates. If necessary, squeeze the tweezers to make sure both holes will line up.
Enlarge one of the holes to 3.7mm and then cut a slot from the edge of the plate to the hole. I started by enlarging the hole with a 1/8” bit and worked my way thru with a file. Make sure the gap is big enough to clear the head of the ball.
Now insert a 2x4mm screw from the outside in, and use a 2mm nut to lock it.
Done! Enjoy!
