Default RE: axe cp thread

Hello, and welcome to the Axe community. I am indeed a noob as I only have been flying since last week. You had an advantage of having an "expert" trim your machine and to make sure it was ready. A lot of us learn this on our own which I am sure results in many mistakes and trial and error runs. I like what I have seen so far but I had to order batteries and chargers etc. and I was short on the $25 gift from Tower so I ordered extra parts figuring I would need them sooner than later. This is an addictive hobby.
Noob question - is the main rotor blade assembly supposed to be really loose? example - blades are straight and level to the boom and nose. Flay paddles level right to left. I can push one of the fly paddles down (very light touch) and the blades will pivot to about a 30 degree angle. This is not the grip of the blades to ensure each blade is the same tightness on each grip rather the entire assembly (blades, fly paddle, flybar carrier?) rocks very easily. Does the centrifugal force of the spinning blades make the "level out"? I replaced a main grip earlier - do i need to tighten the screws so that the blades/paddles do not "roll" so easily on thier own? Thanks for advice.
S_mcflurry, i just made the mods to the servo links. I will see how that does after battery charges if I have time today.
