I just received a brand new Blade 120SR today and I noticed the canopy was push to the left, After removing the canopy here's what I found, see the attachment.

The carbon fiber body mount(BLH3124) is not centered. I tried to push it but I don't want to break it.

Is the carbon rod glued ? or can I push it until it is centered ?

Upside down, and a little small. Any chance to get a bigger pic?

Ok here's a bigger picture but I don't why the forum turn it upside down.

is that bar physically stuck or still moveable? I normally leave mine loose, less likely to break and/or damage the canopy if you impact something hard. If it bothers you much, use a drop of thin CA around the edge of the mount.

The other carbon fiber rod at the front of the heli is also not centered but still ok.

they should be moveable with a mild amount of pressure, they do break and require replacement occasionally. just make sure you don't drive it thru your finger. them things is sharp

Thanks,

my bar is stuck and unmovable. To hold the canopy I have to push the canopy to the left. I'm afraid the heli will be unbalanced.

BTW what is CA some kind of lubricant ?

That is definitely strange. As long as the canopy is on strait that tiny amount of weight won't affect the performance.
CA (cyanoacrilate) is simply super glue. Comes in different grades - Thick (goopy), medium, thin (runny). Thin has excellent penetrating qualities. Thick and Medium good for building airframes.
