How tight should blade grips be?
May seem like a simple question but just curious how tight blade grips should be. On my mcpx they swing freely but on my blade 400 i have to work them straight. Is it normal for the blade to be tighter on the blade 400 or are they a bit to snug. The 400 seems to vibrate a small bit as i spool it up. was thinking that may be the issue.

they should be tight enough, that if you hold the heli on it's side. the blades will not fall from there own weight. but if given a shake, the blades will still move

If you have a small vibration in your heli, then the blade grips are a bit too tight. Loosen them just a tiny bit, and that should get rid of your vibration. On your specific heli, they should be pretty easy to move freely. Even with their own weight...
