Flybarless Avro

kevinww · 09-19-2009, 01:56 PM

I was at the Southern Model Airshow today and one of the pilots flying was Dave Fisher, went had a chat with him, then had a good look at his Avro. After about 20 seconds it suddenly hit me that there were no paddles or flybar. Closer inspection showed that the head block was the current updated version however it had absolutly no machining in it for the flybar to pass through or the cage bearings. Didn't have the camera with me and didn't get the chance to go back and talk to Dave about it as he was now busy. But from what I've seen the flybarless option isn't far away on the Avro. By the way it flew like a rocket ship on steroids.

Hey,

In fact this is a prototype rotor hub ... as you said, it's just the original V2 hub without the machining for the flybar.

Neal sent me one some month ago, I have it on my FBL Avro.

Could take a pic or two.

I have a VBar that I took off my 600N sitting around with the idea of converting the Avro to FBL (maybe wake it up a bit).

Still no rush though, I am considering selling the Avro, it doesnt get flown enough.

Hello,

I'm selling my Avro (and my Robbe Millenium) with its AC-3X and electronics (ReactorX, MultiGov Pro, BLS 451 / 251, OS 91 HZ, hatori muffler), custom painted canopy (by Eddie Mollier Design, theme is the Ford Mustang), maniac blades, and accessories.

If interested, just send me a PM.

Best regards,
Thomas Legrand.

PS : the Avro is in France now.
