Night prowler,
Maintenance: Yes, make sure that all the screws are tight, except the blades of course. Make sure the 2 screws that hold the tail motor in place are tight. The paddle blades tight, fly bar weight, servo arms, main shaft collar. One thing a lot of the guys forget is the spindle, that's the thingie that holds the blade grips to the center hub. Just remove both main blades and take two allen wrenches and check for tightness. I just went through my heli two nights ago, and the screws for the spindle were 2 full turns loose.

Yeah iknow about the motor screws and all, So should the screw in the very top of the rotor be tight? tight as it will go? cause that one and the 2 tiny ones on the side under that were little loose so i tightend them also.
so you have to take both blades completly off to check them others right! I had seen them and thought that was the only way to get to them.
