| Iv now got over my blues from bending feathering spindles, the pictures below show the comparison between the voyager 50-grip/spindle assemblies and the raptor 30/50-v2 grip/spindle assembly. The sizes are the same for the critical areas for fitting into the voyager/ergo centre hub. What’s more is now that the spindle is a constant 6mm bar, the standard soft rubber dampers should last a lot longer. The reason is, the voyager sleeves that go over the 5mm spindle that insert into the damper area only go in to half the depth of the said damper. Hence they wear very quickly on the stock set-up. The last picture shows both grips over each other, there is a bit of a difference in ball location for the two grips, I’m no expert in design, this is just what I have found, and for me it work fine, I am using the high cyclic head block with the adjustable ball links on the grip/fly bar carrier .my pitch range has been reduced a bit to + / - 10 degrees, but my cure is to up the head speed a little.
Another note,
I bent my tail rotor hub mid weekend, Walla. I now found that the raptor 50/60 tail hub and slider and grips fit, again all works fine (fine for me is being able to hold backwards flight  )

and now plenty of flybar damping to go with it
