Feel free to post whatever advice you like and I shall do the same. This thread is about a new set of non-stock blade grips that are too tight. MY first thought, when I experienced this phenomenon first-hand was that the ball joints were too tight but after I disconnected them from the grips I noticed the grips were still very tight. So I, being the clever cat that I am, deduced that since there were no connecting rods attached to the blade grips, yet they were still tight, that the only other place that the brand new blade grips could possibly be binding was the feathering shaft - and I was right. What if "Diatheke" sanded down the balls and still had the problem? Oh well, must be the 5 in 1. I am not telling people to not heed your advice. But I am trying to let others know that there may be other less drastic solutions to problems. You're a good guy, Hank. Very helpful. You tried helping me with my problems and I thank you again for that. I've got all my MSR problems ironed out (believe me, they were really bad) and I wish to help others as you did I.
A friend,

Hi Rich
Then were on the same page

and i never take offense at any one
I do tend to take things a little to seriously at times though and if i came off as brusque,abrupt or combative i do apologize

And i do post those same tips as over the years ive found that they are the most common fixes to the problems (TBE) at hand
Also ive used the same tips on all my helis and they all fly very without any TBE, at last count i have 45 of them in various sizes from UM to 600 size and Coax FP and CP
Thanks for the vote of confidence its most appreciated btw

Take care dear friend
Yours Hank
