FuryFlyer2 is correct. Think of a longer flybar as a longer lever with its fulcrum at the same point..the result...more torque.

Chopper...the paddles aren't moving any faster at all. You are getting linear velocity and rotational velocity confused. The paddles could be 10 feet from the head and still be moving at 1850 rpm.

The cyclic response around center is more sensative the further the paddles are from the head, but there will be no change in the overall cyclic response. In order to change cyclic response, you either have to change paddle weight, or flybar mixing ratios.

Hope this helps.
