Does anyone know if the MH or RKH Rotor Hub comes with the Feathering Spindle, bearings and hardware??

No, just the hub and Jesus screw. You'll need the OEM dampners, spindle shaft etc.

The blade grips do not come with a spindle shaft either (microheli, don't know about Rakon) but does come with the bearings pre installed.

Ok thanks. I couldn't get my stock spindle out and in trying to do so, I ended up stripping the Phillip screw. It's really dumb how blade made their spindle.

Its a really small screw, don't over tighten it and make sure to use some blue loctite

I am putting together my Rakon rotor hub and blade grips, apparently the screw for the spindle is not magnetic, I even opened another new spindle to see if the srew was difff, my screwdriver can lift almost any screw, but wont touch this thing, making it extremely difficult to get the screw into the spindle shaft, dont know what im going to do, may give up.

put the shaft in one blade grip and then put it through the rotor head and put on the spacer. Drop the Philips screw into the bearing of the remaining grip then hold the heli so that the shaft is pointing up and put the grip onto the shaft and tighten the screw.

Easy as pie!

put a tiny drop of glue/ca/silicone/loctite/peanut butter (creamy) on the end of your screwdriver. Now the screw wont fall off your screw driver!

Rakon hubs don't even come with a screw. You have to use the stock screw and the machining of the hub leaves alot to be desired!

I'm sticking with MH! At least it comes with the proper screw to fit the hub.
