Default RAptor 60 Question

Does anyone know if the Raptor 60 Rotor head is off center? When you measure the blades from the end they are not at the same distance to the ground..... The Blades differ like 2-3 MM on either side........ Has anyone else noticed that?

i do not have a raptor 60 (and my 50 is on BO) but i would think there is some kind of damper in the head, wich would make that happen, rotational gravity forces will take care of that in motion.
but how do you messure that that precise? and why?
so i would not worry about it...

Thanks for the input..... I had a crash but very minor...... I took everything apart and put new blades on.........Just noticed that the rotor hub was not symetrical and thought there was a bend in something.......... But doubled checked every thing, So I was just currious about that.....thanks again....

3-4mm is likely just the way the feathering shaft sits in the dampers. The version 1 head was off by 10-13mm at the end of the blades. Make sure your feathering shaft is straight and don't worry about 3-4mm.
