Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Quick question about the sound the blade makes. I just tonight upgraded to the carbon blades and also at the same time took the weights off the flybar completely. I've got the blades tracking perfect now (better than the woodies ever did) but now when I spin it up theres a little clicking sound. click..click..click..click. It's not really loud but it is noticable. There is no vibration in the heli at all and everything moves very smooth. It's very responsive to the controls.

I was just wondering if this clicking is normal. It seems to be coming from the head. It's definitally not the main shaft or the motor. I have a little play in my blade grips. I've had that since the beginning. My buddies blade has no play but mine move just the tinyest amount. I think my spindle is just a smidge to long.

Thanks

EDIT:

Never mind... I took the blade grips apart again and put in some new o-rings that I had from a replacement head I bought (for the spindle only. Please E-Flite put the spindle in it's own part bag). That seems to have gotten rid of the play completely. The clicking also went away. Now it sounds just like it should
