Amount of play in the X2 head - is this normal?

[waferthin]

I was lifting the heli via it's head today and thought "hmm. that feels odd".

I *may* be missing some of the "oh yes those parts aren't even listed" extremely small washers of size I can't recall (0.5mm at most thick). Horizontal play is minimal, at most 0.5mm.

But up/down play? Seems ... quite a bit!
Using normal dampers. Not hard. Have I just never noticed this before? Is this reasonable play?

To answer my own question - I took apart the head and found 1 x 1mm washer was missing in between two of the bearings on one blade grip. This allowed enough play for one of the two o-ring dampers to be more free than it should have been.

Fixed that and it's much more sensible now. Still some play there, but it doesn't feel "sloppy" any more.
