Swash bolts
« on: September 10, 2018, 04:59:53 AM »
Crashed my 556 yesterday and the swash is messed up. It’s like the top half has shifted down a touch so the links drag on the bottom. Looking at the manual I need to replace the 8 bolts on the top when I fix this. Here’s my dilemma. The manual gives a part number and says they are m2x16mm bolts. That part number says it is for m2x14mm, and Synergy also has a different number for m2x16mm. Which should I go with? Also, as a suggestion, it would be nice if these were sold in packs with the same quantity as needed to rebuild the swash. As it is the 14mm are packs of 5 and the 16mm are packs of 2.

My swash did the same after a minor crash. Loosening the M3X8 pinch bolt and re-setting the inner rings within the outer ring fixed it for me.

Thanks. I got it realigned the same way you did already. The manual is pretty clear on replacing those bolts after any crash. I guess I’ll just buy some 16mm bolts since that’s what the description says even though the part number is for something else. If they are too long I can just cut them down.

I see what you are talking about that needs to be corrected. I plan to order mine pretty soon, hope someone can pitch in and help with this pretty soon.

There is a typo on the part number in the N556 manual. It should be 100-216, same as the 766 swash. The 516 swash uses the shorter 100-214 bolts.
