Re: Blade CX Balance problem

Don't know if it is pertinent or not, but in past I noticed that sometimes
switching the flybar linkage to the other side of the upper rotor blades
smoothed things out.

I flew a friend's CX last night and was wondering what exactly this
flybar does and how it works. I can see how it changes the pitch of
the top rotor blades, but I'm not sure what would cause the flybar to
move/tilt in the first place. Does it basically act as a damper?

Also, how much harder is the CP to fly than the CX? I was able to
keep the CX hovering in about a 3 foot cube by the end of the first
battery, and smoothed it out a bit from there on the second. Just
barely played with slow forward flight before we called it quits (need
to get a second battery!).

Any opinions on the optional heat sinks for the motors? Anything
else I should consider?

Thanks,
Steve
