Mine did the same thing, and I made three changes:
- I used a larger (looser) pair of elastics for the head
- I shoved the "nose" tube piece in quite a bit further than is depicted in
the instructions
- I swapped the (technic pin/half length pin) in behind the head for a
(technic pin/stud), which allows the head to rest at a lower angle. My
apologies for the part descriptions. If you don't know what ones I'm talking
about, I can try to clarify.
Now, my droid's head pops up every time, but doesn't fly off.
