Rakonheli Blade Grips and gold washer

[burnoutboy]

Mine will move. The swash is able to move it but I wouldn't say it flops at all. There's definite drag even after being lubricated with Dupont teflon multilube.

In my opinion, please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you need to take one gold washer out. It's amazing how much tinkering you can do in this hobby.

I've got all stock on mine (except tail) and I lost a washer and it flies fine without it.

mine has a lot of side play with the stock blade grips ,it flys just fine

Here what i did, i got 2 of the little nylon washers that go on the screws that mount the board to the frame. They are a touch smaller and allow you to take up some slack without going too tight. you could put one of those with a brass washer, or 2 of the nylon or one of the nylon whichever works on your heli. I lubed the o-rings and washers and i have no TBE at all....rock steady.

Hey burnoutboy, let me know how you like the RK swash, i just ordered a red one from them.

i pulled the one washer i put on with the MH hub and grips and it is much better

My only gripe with the RKH swash is it only has one set of link balls. I think they're the same length as the advanced ones but not too sure. My guess is they were keeping weight down.

If you notice the swash has holes tapped out for the other set of balls. At least mine looked like it does.

How long does it usually take to receive the swash from RK. I just got the order confirmation today but no shipping info yet ?
Not like I'm in any hurry since i don't have a working tx right now....lol

The same day I ordered I got a email from them giving me a estimated shipping date (Which was a week after I ordered since it was on delivery from HK). They send via USPS first class so it should be a few days after that date.

All told it was about a week and a half. I never got any other email from them (IE a order has been shipped). They were spot on about the delivery time frame though - mine showed up 2 days after the estimated shipping date.

Just got my rkh blade grips today. Nice! the instructions say that you dont need the brass washers so i left them out. its a good fight and no more play than stock grips and washers....maybe less.

it flys great.

i have a rkh main rotor hub coming too. this rkh stuff is NICE!

[newhelicrasher]

I am curious because I just placed an order for some rhk parts directly from rakonheli. Did you order both your parts at the same time and did not recieve them together or did you place seperate orders for both parts?

[crashycanuck]

i ordered seperately and from two different sources.

the blade grip came from RKH directly. Ordered in February but were backordered at the time, and the were manufactured and shipped on the 3rd of March. Just got here yesterday.

my hub Is cominig from a canadian supplier. i ordered it Friday and expect it tomorrow. more expensive but should be way faster.

I'll also chime in and say I have RKH grips on both of my mSRX's and omitted the gold washers per the instructions. Mine have a tiny bit of slop but, consistent with what others have said, fly great. Both of mine have the RKH swashplates, grips and rotor head. I at least think they have noticeably improve their stability.

I installed the RKH grips on the Extreme hub. VERY nice fit. No washers

[Doogals]

Anyone know if the MH blade grip will work with the RKH main hub?
