Since the only one I know makes them is Mikado id thought I put the q out, thing is if you go flybarless and directlink from swashplate to bladegrips you loose alot of reduction from the mixer arms..
Swash mix goes under 50% and you loose alot of sensitivity, pitch getīs abit jumpy..
Buying mikado grips to an align heli Naa.. hehe.. btw the are so expensive also.. blade grips with longer arms is all you need.. not a new featheringshaft/head system..

The ratio of servo horn movement to blade angle of attack (AOA) change is what, I think, you are refering to.
One point of going flybarless (for me) is to reduce the number of moving parts. That will, naturally reduce the play in the overall system.
Anyway, the answer to reduced link (servo) movement/reduced accuracy is quite simple. Move the links in closer to the servo shaft (pivot point) and/or move the links farther away from the feathering spindle (pivot point). Increasing the link point radius on the blade grips (moving the links out from the spindle) is ideal because the relative free play in the swash and links is a fixed percentage of the total link movement. The greater the link movement, the less the overall play in the system effects the precision.
This is why we want properly designed flybarless heads instead of modifying legacy heads for flybarless.

Yes I know you can move the balls on the servo horn but you cant get them as far as you like because it whont simply fit, I moved my balls in on my 600N Pro with SK360 and it works but it whould be nice to get new bladegrips so you whont have to add mixer arms or play with moving linkballs and stuff, if you move the balls in on the horns you also add more slope since it will move lesser and then accuracy is an issue, real god servos are needed.. well thats īnot a problem but ...
soo only mikado grips? those grips cost 3 times the Align alu..

I was just about to tell you to get the Mikado flybarless head conversion for a TRex 600 but, as you say, that is very expensive.
Never-the-less, I put the Mikado head on my MA Razor 600e that I am converting to flybarless. Yes that head is expensive but, the quality is first rate.
Good luck,
