Hi to all

I fly a Lepton about five months,after a crash due to a battery failure and rebuild it and fly it again but I have a question.

I have noticed a little play of the two blade grips on the head.
I don't remember if this play was from the start because i have not pay attention to this thing then.

Is normal this little play on the two blade grips or it may be cause vibrations?
This vibrations are noticed at start and after increasing rotor rpm they disappear.

The feathering spindle is new,blade grips with bearings are new and correctly mounted and tightened,the blades tracking is correct.

Thanks for any advice.

It's probably slop in the washout base. This is one of the known issues with the stock head. There used to be some guy on ebay selling an "upgrade" part that fit and wore better.
