I never should have bought this. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
Looks great....that's it
Cons:
Very weak! I have bought 2 of them, the first one was to replace the original swash that had cracked from a crash. I put it on and as I was snapping the ball link in place, one of the arms on the swash bent.....tried bending in back and it snapped. I was dumbfounded, I didn't force it at all. So I thought, well maybe I got a dud, so I bought another one. It came today and I installed it without any issues...when I went to snap on the small linkage from the blade grip to the swash...guess what...the tiny ball broke off! I was fuming! I DID NOT force it or put excessive pressure on it. I tried to locktite the ball back in (it has a tiny arm that links it to the swash, maybe 3mm in length) and that didn't work. As far as I am concerned, these are a waste of money and I will stick with the plastic ones from now on. I realize that these are very small and fragile but I really didn't force it! Not impressed at all!
