Well, you can do your own upgrade.

Not sure if this can work, but here is what you will need.
You will need to do a mod to intall the Radius Arm Stay in the frame, maybe remove the aluminum spacer that are in front of the elevator arm and intall the radius arm stay there.

Whay you guys think>

Jim,

If I were you, I'd get the aluminum elevator "A" arm assembly that goes on the Knight Pro model...it's a direct fit, nothing else needed, and is the comparison of the aluminum unit used on the Predator, only better because it is all aluminum.The government cannot give you anything without first taking it from someone else.

Ok I won't say it just think it LOL
Ha Ha

It is definitly not a need item, but the metal unit will definitly eleminate any movement you think you are going to get.

I thought the stock had a little play myself but flight testing soon put that right out of my mind.
If the swash was rotating the heli would not fly as locked in as it does. It also flips with no roll interaction so it is not twisting.

If you think you need it buy it ! the unit is sweet !! as all the metal bits are for these helis....

Now stop overthinking the heli and get that puppy in the air !

Have you fitted one?,as mine needs a spacer

With mine! I had to trim the bottom of the frame, So the ball arm clears the frame, and I had to space the Bottom frame on the brass
spacers.

Found the washers that come as spacers in the radix tail blades are a perfect fit.

Although I did use the brass spacers from the sport,and the pro ones could be longer, I just had A frame laying around without the spacers.

Jim

You will find even will the little movement in the swash with the plastic A arm there is no difference!

They both track great and there is no interaction, there is no real gain in changing.(gunnell_s) still owes me money! ... web evorc.com

rspblake,

I fitted the entire assembly from the Pro, and there were no issues at all. Did you use just the "A" arm, or the assembly?

I will agree I saw no improvement in the air. I had actually ordered it for another "project", but decided not to do it, and installed it as an upgrade.The government cannot give you anything without first taking it from someone else.
