how tight should the blades be????
Hi guys... I am new in this... I am flying a t-rex but I am not sure how to set up the blades... I mean... how tight should I leave them??? I have seen in some videos how people can easily move the blades and I have seen in other videos how the blades look tight and move slightly with the hand.... how should I leave them????? tight or lose???? Thanks.

RE: how tight should the blades be????
There are seveal ways to determine if the blades are too loose or two tight.
1. Gently (slowly) turn the T Rexr on its side. If the weight of the blade causes it to "flop" down, It's likely too loose. Some movement is usually OK.
2. When you spinup the blades at 0 pitch, and the blades were deliberately set to be somewhere other than where they should be (more or less in line) do the blades auto center, or not, or does the RPM seem to be high when they do finally center.
3. When the TRex is on it's side, gently tapping the blade should cause the blade to move.
