Bob & Patti, Are you saying there is excessive friction with the blocks snugged up on the tubes unmounted? If so. sand them lightly to get a little better movement. The biggest problem is getting them frictionless free when they are mounted. They must be aligned to the perpendicular perfectly. Do a micro release/build to align them perfectly. They will "break in" slightly as you use them. No problems with mine after many, many landings. Can't tell you about the FB fuselage. Had to do all of the coring and bid builds on my fuselage myself. I bought a sloooooww build kit. Can tell you though that both seat supports need mountings.
