I'm in the precess of assembling my first Raptor 50 and am
wondering......
......Should the many tiny linkage balls which are held to the plastic
moldings with little self tapping screws be tight, or left to rotate
on the screw?
It seems that when they are tight and the linkage rod eye's have to
rotate on the ball, they are pretty tight. Does this matter, or would
loosening the screws so the balls rotated on the screw instead of in
the rod eye's make things better.

Hope i've explained myself their:-)

your balls should be tight

& the plastic eye will turn on the ball ok
if they are very stiff to turn a gentle squeeze with some pliers will free
them up, just don't go mad with the squeeze
