Grinding Y-axis on Gunfigher mk3
Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:51
I have a relatively new gunfigher (about 3 months) and started using the 10cm extension this week with 40 + 30 springs. Mightb e 30 + 30, not 100%.
Anyway, tonight (second flight with the extension) I got a grinding in the Y-axis. Here's a video, but you can barely hear the sound: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cFNgJTkeB2r1x5Bd7
X-axis is completely smooth in comparison.
Now, I opened it up.. The X-axis cam looks a bit scratched / corroded, but that doesn't seem to be the issue, since the bearing isn't moving over that cam when I hear and feel the grinding.
First I thought it might be the dry clutch, but nope. Can't feel the grinding if I remove all of the springs.
What gives?
