Blade CP.. New blades due to fumble fingers (Well thumbs) and I got
it tracked and balanced. 3 flights on the new blades and it's out of
track. Retracked 'em and they came out of track in the middle of the
2nd flight after retracking.
Servos are all smooth, no evidence of broken gears, no binding in the
linkages in the head. No slop in the head, main shaft is straight..
Controls arms are slop free as well.
Possible the blades are warping? it's been chilly in the mornings
when I start flying (high 40s) lately and warms to nearly 60 by the
time I head to work.
Keeping this thing tracked properly is becoming a daily pre-flight
ritual. Anyone know of some micro ball link/tunrbuckles I can use for
linkages.. Sure would be nice to be able to adjust this thing wihtout
having to pop ball links apart each time.

My gut instinct tells me it's a materials issue.
Perhaps the 'plastic' is runny in spots at high G force?
