@Kidlat432 It can be done that way, but with cheap relatively weak servos, using the washout arms like I did gives you more servo movement with less movement at the grip, which makes less work for the servo. On the other hand.... it also introduces more slop... In my case, the main reason I did it that way is because I didn't have links long enough.
I was out today flying my FBL Belt CP.... I find mine to be more twitchy when I turn my TC up.... I'm running from mid... 40-45-50 and feels good.... when I turned it up to 50-55-60 the gyroscopic affect of the blades makes it feel toutchy and kind of wobbles when turning with the rudder.... I don't know? Lower seems better with me..... Tell me what you get?
With no stabilization you get an even more agile heli with insane roll rates from what I've heard and seen. Do you like the lower or higher head speed?
I've only hover tested it so far. The higher head speed definitely made it twitchier. I'm not sure if the lower head speed make it more smooth at the expense of stability. We'll see...

Shouldn't the links go directly from swash to the blade grips so you can lose all that hardware in between?

Damn stable with higher rpm. Congrats! More stable than a lot of stabilized helis I see out there! :)

nice, im planing to try your mod with my 450 and test the flymentor 3d on it!
so you still used the mixing arms so servo resolution would not be a problems right!
thanks nice video!

what fbl head did you use ? and how much
wcwickedclown 2 years ago
I made it myself out of my existing 450 head.
Do a google search for: skookum flybarless 450 conversion
Also if you take a look at my "Flybarless 450 - Test 5" video.
