Default Does anyone REALLY know?

I posted a thread a while back about how to increase roll/flip rate.
This being the rate of speed that the heli flips/rolls, not necessarily how sensitive cyclic is at hover.

It seems some think a longer flybar, some say shorter.

If heavier paddles, or flybar weights moved to the outside make it slower, and lighter paddles or 'weights in' make for faster rate, it seems to me a shorter flybar would be faster, not longer.

Is it a 'more leverage' or 'less gyroscopic' thing?

Does anyone have actual experience here, not just speculation or here-say before I cut down my flybar?

Thanks again, Kirk
