Blade Tightening Question

[bassplayinDude]

Hey guys, I recently acquired my Blade 400 and have done the servo checks as described in the manual. The part I'm confused with is the manual says to tighten the main blades until they only move under moderate pressure. My question is, what exactly is moderate pressure? Thanks for your help.

I've read and am using a suggestion from a previous post.

Tighten enough so when you hold the copter vertical, the blades don't fall. Then give a slight jerk and the blades should fall.

If they are too tight, the copter will oscillate quite a bit until your head speed increases.

I do it slightly different as per a finless video. I tighten them just to the point they DON'T fall when jerking it. They are still pretty loose and swing out on their own to the 'sweet spot'

Too loose will cause vibrations at higher head speeds.
