Anyone else had issues with the quality of the alum main blade grips and alum tail rotor grips? Both on my 450XS are worthless. The tail rotor grips somehow cause a horrible vibration once the heli reach mid stick. The main blade grips are noticeable not straight when installed in the head. I can visually see one grip is pointing slightly down. This was straight out of the box and also after I went through it and checked everything. it makes the blades impossible to track.

I've ordered plastic pieces to see if it resolves the issues. Then I will be taking this up with Heli-Max for a fix. Just wanted to see if this is a isolated instance or more common?
Check the feathering spindle, might have been damage during shipping of some sort. The blade grips should be straight. The stock white blades are junk and cause alot of vibration. Upgrade to teh CF or Align tail blades.

Unfortunately, Helimax has back ordered the spindles until the end of May.[:@]
