Not happy with my EVO so far only 5, yes 5 flights. I noticed that my EVO started to go slightly left when I climb out after a maneuver. I did not think of it as any big deal all my CCPM helos would have to be readjusted after first flights after every thing wares in. So when I got home I removed my head un snapped links as I looked at my swash I notice something sticking out of the uniball when I went to push what look like the sleeve that hold the uniball in the sleeve & uniball came out. I have never had this happen or heard of this happening. I will try to ship off to MRC. But I will have to dish out $50 if I want to fly this weekend NOT happy hopefully Jeff Green will read this. Is there any way to fix this or should not mess with it. I really don’t want to mess with the swash plate.pic should be up Mon

That does seem unusual. Is there any possibility that the main shaft was marred at all causing friction on the ball?

I'm sure Jeff will look into this soon. I have a used one I can send you.

Also in my first Avant the same! After only 4 flights!
I changed with another new swash plate (Hirobo) and again the same (after only 3 flights).
Then I put a Quick UK swash plate and solved.

In December I got another Avant but on this I have never had this problem (with Hirobo swash). Cautionally I changed also on this but only after 20 flights.

For now remains a mystery for me

Sorry to hear your report. Did you PM Jeff Green yet?

I don't mean to start a flame fest, but wouldn't it be better to give the vendor a chance to address an issue and serve you as a customer before you start complaining in public. If you contacted Jeff first, maybe you would find that it won't cost you anything to get back in the air.

Give MRC a chance.

And,the last reported cases of problems with the Evo 90 at my field, turned out to not be deficiencies in the Evo itself, but rather problems caused by electronic component failures. Nevertheless when he was contacted, Jeff graciously, generously and, expeditiously, relieved the pilot's woes without finding fault, or, placing blame.

How can you go wrong with this guy? And, he can fly too.
