have decided to ditch the standard jr paddles for green tt paddles.
the problem i am now faced with is that if i fit the tt paddles to the JR flybar the paddles will have a much wider track.

i looked up the raptor instructions on net but they dont show any lengths for the flybar.

also in the little hole in the middle of the paddle is this a cavity for a lock nut to keep the paddles on?

another idea i have is to buy a tt flybar but will that give me the right paddle circumfrence for my voyager?

i looked up flybars and there appears to be 2 types, one is standard rod with threaded ends, the other has little flats cut into it for the grub screw. which one would be better?

oh buy the way my heli is a JR voyager 50.

The flats on Raptor flybars are there to position and secure the flybar control arms and are very unlikely to be in the correct position for your Voyager. The holes in the TT paddles are there to make it easier to properly position the paddles. If desired, the paddles can be secured with a little thick CA, but I've found that unnecessary.

or get a jr flybar part # jrp996057 that is 410 mm long rick's carries them. this is what i use they are caled flybar 410mm (3d):cp. I am Pretty sure on this part # if I am wrong just ask Nathan Spenser at rick's for the short flybar for the voyager 50 I have one and he is who i always deal with. If he doesn't answer leave a message he allways calles you back.
