High guys, quick question about tightening down the screws that hold the blade grips to the feathering shaft. I was having blade tracking issues and my grips seemed loose so I went out and bought some replacement dampers. The new dampers are quite a bit thicker than the old ones. After putting everything back together, the flybar is very stiff. If I loosen the screws enough for the flybar to move freely, then the blade grips wobble. What am I doing wrong? Should I just tighten it down, and the dampers will break in, or is something else wrong? This is on a blade 400.
Also, should I put locktite on screws with nylon nuts, the blade grip screws are this type.
