I'm so psyched! I don't know what to do now. Today, I tested myself with my Velocity 50. I wanted to see how it was compared to my FBL helicopters. Well, the verdict is in... It was FUN!!! So much so that I flew four tanks back to back and really aired it out. It's not as fast as my Furion 6, but man is it easy to fly. Now, I don't know if I should convert my V50 to Flybarless. I mean, it flies soooo good as it is. It's a little more touchy, but after a couple of turns I felt just as locked in. So, what to do?

Hi there leave it as it is  If it aint broke then don't fix it i always say, If the extra performance and speed/efficiency of FBL doesn't match the pilot then conflicts will happen  plus FBL makes for extra $$ and complication IMHO Regards |

Well, it ain't broke, that's for sure. No flying today... just too burned out from work. But, I'm probably going to buck the trend and convert it, anyway. I've proven to myself what I wanted to prove. Scott |

I say, do what you feel is best for you. If you feel converting it to FBL will make it a better flying helicopter, than go for it. If you feel that it flys great as is with a flybar, then leave it alone. Most importantly, enjoy yourself. ;D |

I converted the V50 to FBL tonight. I just finished about two hours ago. Clearly, I didn't have a chance to test fly it, but that will come tomorrow, weather permitting. I do have to say that I absolutely detest FBL heads with separate swash drivers. It's maddening getting phasing correct, but I think I've got it. Basically, all I did to get phasing correct was to line up one ball on the rotation portion of the swash with the elevator connection on the non-rotating part of the swash while at mid-stick. I held it there then rotated the head until the blade grips were perfectly in-line with the boom. After that, I adjusted the swash driver height utill the drivers arm were at 90 degrees to the main shaft. Sounds easy and probably is to a lot of people besides me. Oh, well.. that's it for conversions. Total.. One mini-Vbar, four microbeasts and one Blade mCP X. My fleet is all FBL now with the exception of my BH500 which will always be FB and is currently retired. Scott |
