Location: minocqua, wi. | inside of that plastic cap is the magnet sitting right in the spot that gets the shock from a bounce against a roller. it's a friction fit part that slides onto a frame flange so doesn't take too much to move out of position. once out of position it can be a problem for primary rotation to stow alignment position and if out of position will cause the error. i would imagine pinning that magnet with a bolt would have been a better design so not sure if they've changed/improved it since mine or not.
there is a reason they put these new plates onto the market though, just wish it was understood earlier and not at the expense of frustration and the cost of another new baseplate.
it's only money though i guess. just nice to know i wasn't crazy and there was a reason it wasn't working and better yet a reason why it will continue to work now.
my primary launch is very steep and i launch solo most of the time, so it all made perfect sense ... just 2 years late.
