7Hv-ULT Arm Connector same width as old one?

[Brett74]

I use the 7HV Arms and drive connectors for another flybarless head that I have modded and was wandering if the the new V2 or "Ult" Arm connectors are the same width as the old ones, ie: where the bolt that hold the "Y" arm to the the blade grip arm, is it the same width as the old ?
Thanks in advance...

While I haven't tried the new ones I imagine they are same since parts are interchangeable.

What custom creation are you building?

Are you talking about the 7HV drive tubes? If so, the ultimate (top) and standard (bottom) versions are different in length and how they attach (no jesus bolt hole in the standard version).

And the metal arm they connect to is also different (very top).

I am converting my Goblin 700 Head over to the Compass DFC type arms, I did so on my Trex 700 and on my Kasama Srimok and was really happy... see the Kasama head here...https://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=362936

What I am trying to determine is whether the "Y" arm is the same width, does it cover the same amount of the bolt that holds it to the Blade grip arm ? Can you slap a caliper on there and measure it for me ? the old one was 21,2mm from the face of the bearing to the face of the opposite bearing...

Kasama looks good.
You obviously like the flight characteristics since you've repeated the mod, ever consider a 7Hv?

BTW, hows the ankle?
I've got some hardware too but in my neck, fusion at C5 and C6 vertebra.

Ankle has heeled up well, running 7km in 45mins 3 times a week and no trouble, thanks.
I have considered a 7HV...along with...., no wait don't get me started!!

Good to hear.
7Hv is pretty Bad A$$, even below the head.
If you are thinking of a 600 new 6Hv Ultimate is expected some time this summer.
Couple threads in 6Hv forum, it's pretty sweet.
