Bell-Hilier Modification

[ckoelliker]

For those that have done it is it worth the effort? Also exactly what are you changing? Are the fly bar paddles moving more with main blades? For instance if I have +7 degrees of pitch with full cyclic, what will be different about my setup after the modification? Am I getting more of a paddle deflection to accompany my seven degrees of cyclic pitch?

honestly, i didn't touched anything on mine and with 2800 RPM with MS 420 carbon blades it was already very hard to control because of a very high maneuvrability. I don't think there is a need to modify something here. With the stock baldes the heli is soother (a little bit). I had to lower the HS a good bit to have a gentle heli.

I am trying to increase my roll rate without bogging the motor. I have mine with 7-8 degrees cyclic pitch. It rolls pretty fast, but if I can do the modification and achieve the same roll rate but with less cyclic pitch I would give it a shot.
