Until some guys at Charlton pointed this out too me, I hadn't realized .. some how.
But the dampers on my 500 are so worn, I have just removed the blade grips now and gave the dampers a closer inspection, they're pretty god damn loose on the feathering shaft, probably about 0.5-1mm of play in there !!
They're the grey ones which apparently are weaker, so, i recently ordered a pair of the black dampers so I'm just waiting for them to arrive.
But, just a tip that I have learned, check the slop in the blade grips, if there is slop, replace the dampers ... or a boom strike could be waiting for you
