Kyosho H6008 Main Rotor Grip for Concept 60 RC Helicopter  [KYH6008]

Replacement main rotor grip for Concept 60

The Kyosho H6008 main rotor grip is an RC-scale spare designed to replace the original grip on Concept 60 class helicopters. This editorial focuses on its role inside the main rotor head assembly, what to check during replacement, and how it affects flight trim and head response.

Compatibility is limited to Concept 60 platform models that use Kyosho Concept 60 style rotor heads; confirm part fit against your rotor head layout before installation. The grip functions as the mechanical interface between the blade grips and the rotor head, so wear or play here shows up as increased vibration, sloppy cyclic response, or inconsistent pitch tracking.

Installation notes: inspect the grip for visible wear, check bearing seats and blade-pin bores for ovalisation, and replace any worn pins or pins' circlips at the same time. Use the correct hex driver and torque settings for the retaining screws, and verify blade tracking and swashplate centring after assembly. Minor tune-up steps include rechecking blade pitch at neutral and performing low-speed hover tests to confirm smooth cyclic inputs.

Practical tuning role: swapping a worn grip to a matched replacement helps restore crisp cyclic response and consistent collective-to-pitch behaviour, making it a routine service item for maintaining predictable handling on Concept 60 helicopters.
