My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Just seen this new blade grip for the Beam E4... Anybody has information about WHY it is different in shape?




Is it a version that will include thrust bearing? Appart from the obvious ball link missing and the blad bolt hole not "machined" exactly the same... I can't see why it's different?

Simply new look or easier for the machinist?

Any info appreciated.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Where should the thrust bearin should be? between the two radial?

By looking at my grips, it seems that the bearing are press fit and those new grip seems to have the same dimension (except the wider "neck"

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		The thrust bearing is outbound on the Beam grips - right next to the grip retaining nut, not between the radial bearings.

Thanks!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I should hope a great heli like the beam should have nothing but thrust bearing grips, TREX v2 did so 2 years ago. Especially since guys are running 300o plus headspeed, the centripetal force must be enormous at that speed
