OTS: IYHO, in lieu of a blade designed specifically for a 3 blade head, would an old FB blade be a better choice for a 3-blade head?

Assuming they can still be found.

The FBL blades are heavier and their CG is forward of a FB blade.
This was to make them more stable than the FB blades

In "early days", the FB blades were not recommended with FBL gyros because they were less stable than FBL blades.

I guess no one advertises "flybar" vs. "flybarless" blades anyone.
The assumption is that everyone uses FBL now.
