My brother said there is somebody producing a new style metal head for the Raptors that has the see saw below the main blades. Anybody have any information on these or maybe a website?

There are the TDG heads.

TDG head

But there is nothing wrong with the orginal head.

Lots of raptor parts including metal head conversion with flybar below the blades. Very nice flying head!

Looks nice, but is there a reason we want the flybar under the blades? Does it matter?

I am still flying a V1 raptor and still have problems with the blade tracking never staying 'tracked' for long.
I have been toying with the idea for ages about upgrading mine to a metal head system. Anyway I did updgrade to metal washout arms, this has made a difference and its a lot cheaper.

If you cut the grass, one might forget about that little invisible flybar.

Ok! It was my fault!

the reason they are going to the underslung flybar is because the sceadu flies better than the raptor overall and it has to do with the underslung flybar. im not bashing the raptor cause ive had my share of them but the sceadu does fly better. but the raptor does have many ups over the sceadu one main one being parts cost.

A flybar does the exact same job whether it is above the blades or below. why should it make a difference where it is located? It rotates around the same axis. Unless you insist on hovering inverted low enough to cut the grass, it should make no difference.

Fist off do not get a TGR or TDG head they are straight up cheap horrible parts...I have seen them shear apart on the 90's every person that I have talked to (including myself)has never had a good experience with TGR heads. they r made of the cheapest metals..they are not ever 100% aluminum...as the Quick uk Kasama, and G-force heads are....Another thing the whole underslung head topic has been around for quite some time...whether one is better than the other...few can tell.

if you are comparing two entirely different helicopters such as a raptor and a Sceadu, and saying that the sceadu flies better because the flybar is underslung...huh...with all respect...I highly doubt you are such a good pilot and technician that you can HONESTLY say the rason the sceadu flys better is because the underslung flybar...not the fact that it could be the mechanical arrangement, the cg differences, the tail boom length, the dampening. Anyway all I'm saying is I have heard high and low reguarding this topic for ever..and at this pint most of the consensus is that there really isn't a difference...I would not go through all the trouble..I have a titan with a kasama head with stock grips and its rock solid..

just throw an Align TRex600 head onto a R50 if you want an underslung flybar system... I hear they fly amazing on raptors...
