fly bar weights

[porsche]

Hello all, I have been flying my Hawk sport for 5 months now and I am doing mild aerobatics. My question is, If I move in or remove my flybar weights will that help the rolling of the heli. ? Thanx Alan

It should speed up all the cyclics. They will/should be faster off the neutral position.
Only thing to help make the rolls proper is collective management.

Thanx for the reply, but should I remove the weights or just move them in ?

Porsche...
Go half way in...If that is still a little too soft for you...Take them off completely. You just have to go for what you feel....

Thanx, this I will try, Alan

Flybar weights only affect the immediate rate of cyclic (how quickly the heli starts the commanded manuever). Once the heli has stabilized in a roll or tumble, the rate will be the same with or without the weights.
