I'm confused :arggg: - decided to go V on the L5003D = bought the rotorhead V conversion #4041 and the pressureless V module #4010.

In the manual it shows different swash driver arrangements - on the L6003D it has a black bar that locks into the ali collar whilst on the L5003D the manual shows a clamp with a couple of radius arms going onto the swash - I can't find this latter part listed now in parts and the V head conversion comes with the black bar - have they changed the swash driver arrangement to the 600 type on the 500?

Actually the new one would be better, because the old one wears out a little because of the linkage rods go through it.

Nice greetings
Tom

Any pic to share on how does the new swashplate retainer will looks like on a flybarless head? I thought tis is the swashplate driver for the flybar version which i saw on the manual.
