The X3L flew fine but the 500 had a loose bracket that holds the control arm. I'm glad that the 500 didn't crash :o https://youtu.be/cYf-WOeKyYE Still I had fun flying the X3L https://youtu.be/lNYoPwxfAO0

yep...that arm is definitely loose! If I remember right, Align has a metal replacement arm. I think I have that on my 500.

Yeah I didn't catch that the tail arm is replaceable when I took it apart to put thread lock on. I just notice the little hex screw on the inside upon inspection. Most of those tail arm are all together as one on most tail. Learn something new everyday :oops:

Well I hope you get the chance to go out and play. Don't forget the video part. I have plan to go Thursday morning again. Weather permitted. It's our rainy/hurricane season here in Florida so we really don't know how the weather is going to be from day to day. Mostly if you don't like the weather in Florida...just wait ten minutes :lol:
