Does anyone REALLY know?
Helifreak, I am not confused. The paddles move faster with a longer flybar, and are more responsive because of it. Now if you heli will roll faster because of it depends on paddle size and flybar authority. I do know a thing or two about this and I am not "supposin'".
If I'm not mistaken, the question is "how do I get a faster cyclic response?" The best solution is to use the lightest and most responsive paddles that you can get. The second best is to get the most responsive blades you can get. Incresing head speed up to 1850 helps. Flybar length will depend on paddles. Longer flybar lengths and light paddles might induce ocillation. Some experimentation might be needed to find the longest length without a nod or wobble.
Boomstriker, cutting down your flybar will not get you a more responsive machine, if this is what you want. I hope I did not mis-understand your question.
