cx2 flying outside!!

You must be a real helo mechanic, I understood what you were talking about. It is like trying to explain a constatant speed propeller and oil pressure to someone who has never flown behind one before.

Thank you. That is an explanation I can sink my teeth into. The logic is sound and defines the function of the flybar is a manor that makes perfect sense. Glad there are some real heli mechanics on the link to help keep us informed.

Thank you.

Sorry I havent answer kindling maker, I was on vaca, If you notice the pic I posted at the begining of this post the flybar uses cp weights but no paddles. Try 2 weights on each end. just a side line note: dont assume the # on these rotor blades are accurate. snap a set together and see if they balance on the side of a screwdriver. I found that can make a big difference. If you guys have ever seen a UH-1 helicopter it has a flybar, but It is really called a stabalizer bar. The BLADE people just didnt make this little item up to confuse us. lol this is the defintion of a stab bar.
The stabilizer bar is connected into the flight system in such a manner that the inherent inertia and gyroscopic action are induced into the rotor system to provide a measure of stability for all flight conditions. If, while hovering, the helicopter's attitude is disturbed, the bar tends to remain in its present plane. The relative movement between the bar and the mast will cause the blades to feather and return the rotor to its original plane of rotation. When the rotor disc is displaced by cyclic action, initially a portion of the cyclic movement is removed, but because of pendulum action of the helicopter, the mast is displaced. Now, because of the restraining and damping action of the dampers, the bar possesses a mast-following characteristic. The time it requires the bar to follow the mast and return all the cyclic control to the rotor is determined by damper timing. A compromise between gyroscopic action and damper timing is maintained during flight which allows the bar to provide a measure of stability, yet still affords the pilot complete control of the helicopter. I will get a video out to you guys after the 4th. :glasses2:[/quote]

shorten the fly bar and it gets interesting I am loving it

[helimech66]

I heard the lama blade gips and folding blades are compatable with the cx. :glasses2:

[helimech66]

let me know how the new weights work. I.m trying to upload the video.. :arggg: :glasses2:
