Default Blade SR blade wrappings

So, Iam getting relatively good with my Blade SRnow, but I still occassionally nick a blade when flying in small spaces.

What is the purpose of the saran wrap, white covering of the stock, wooden SRblades? Is it just cheaper than painting them or is it a durability thing?

Ihave a pair that nicked the covering, so Ihave stripped off the plastic and Iam going to paint a set and see how they fly.

Also, Ihear a lot of debate about how tight your blade grips (the nuts) should grip the blades. Iseem to like them where it takes gentle pressure to push the blades out straight from the stored position, but yet the heli has no trouble spinning them out exactly where they go. Iwould think too tight would not allow them to spin to their natural position while too loose would allow for slop and vibration. Is this right?
