| Ok, I've logged all of 10 minutes flying on my HDX 450 and now the main blade grips have so much play the end of the blades move 3/4" up and down without resistance. Has anyone encountered this? Bad bearings perhaps? Tracking seemed OK though, for whatever that's worth.
Also the seesaw arms have a ton of play in them - I checked the bolts for tightness. I don't know if this play was there before the flights or not, I may have missed it.
Same question as I posed before if someone can help - thrust washer/spindle assembly order to make sure it's right. I really think it is, as I have a Tiger 50.
