Raptor 30 Main Blade Grips

[USA_1_INK]

I have a Raptor 30 V1 , The more it gets broke in . The more the main blade grips seem to have more movement in and out travel from the rotor hub . The amount of travel is only about 1/16th inch . Was just wondering. is this was normal . Or signs of wear in the Flap Dampners , or Blade grips . I went back thru the assembly manual , didn't see anything about thrust washers . The only thing they show , is the Flap Dampner , Flap Collar, Main Rotor Grip .

I was out flying this morning . Everthing was fine in the way it was flying . Hover was rock solid . didn't notice any problems with the grips the way they are .

That's normal for the V1 grips. When you get a chance it's a good idea to convert to the V2 head not because of the end play, but because the V2 head is much less prone to blade flutter (woof). You will need the grips, bearings, and spindle.
