450 Tightness of Helicopter tail blades?

[Blade 400]

Hi all,
I took the Main and tail blades off my 450 for safety reasons and whilst I know that the main blades should be tightened down so that they only move when you give the Heli a jolt, I don`t know about tail blades - should they be the same please? Thanks

Snugged but moveable .

Yep... like Ivan said. Just tight enough to not slip on the pulleys. If you tighten the belt too tight, you`re not only shortening the life of the belt. But you are also putting a lot of side load on the bearings, shafts and other drive train components.
