Blade Grip play

[bcritch]

I have noticed on my bladegrips that there is a little play going up and down on the original bladegrips that came with the Hurricane. When I did that I inspected all the bearing and they all look to be in good condition and all messured out okay with the dial calipers. I changed bladegrips and the new ones do not have any play at this time but no flights yet with the new ones, but I was wondering if this a common problem with the plastic bladegrips, or was that just a fluke. I currently have 5 flights on the Hurricane with those original grips if that helps. Thanks to all who have any info.

This is normal for the plastic blade grip, I have checked 3 sets of the plastic blade grips and all having the same problem but the good thing is it doesn't create any problem during flight.
The play is due to the plastic grip inner diameter is a little bit bigger than the bearing.

Thanks for your reply. I will say that the replacement grips do seem to fit tighter than the original grips that came with it, but as long as it does not get to bad then I will keep flying, Thank's.
