I have waited a while to tell, I put a larger Robbi 60/70 size swash on my Falcon, WOW what a difference, with the Robbi swash I have a smoother and quicker/faster cyclic, yet I have more control over my heli, I love it,,,
as for the swash it's self, I had to remove one of the arms on the lower plate (the anti-rotation arm), the balls on the lower plate are 3mm wider than on the Century swash, on the top plate the balls are 4mm wider than on the stock swash with longer balls, I get just a bit (14%) more swash deflection with the Robbi swash,,, the larger swash fit perfict on my Falcon, infact the bellcrank to swash linkage are now straighter,,,
and because the upper plate balls are wider the radius arms are out farther changing their angle, this tightened up the complete cyclic system,,,
all this gives a quicker/faster cyclic yet I have more control over it,,, it feels really nice on the sticks,,, as good as it did fly, she now flies better, she flies Fantastic !!
