How do you track the blades if they're off? Just bend the blade at the rotor head? And here's a question I've been pondering for beginner heli pilots on fixed pitch or even CP helis. Since overcontrol at that critical moment seems to be my worst enemy, would shortening the flybar be more effective at dampening the controls? I've tried moving the flybar weights all the way out, halfway in and all the way in and can't really tell much difference. The stock flybar is 17 mm, so I was thinking about shortening it down to 10 mm and trying it. Has anyone ever tried that?

Edited to add:
I finally broke down and added some weight in the nose to fix the CG. I strapped the battery down with multiple rubber bands and added a ceiling fan balancing weight (after testing first) inside the nose of the canopy with that double sided sticky tape. Perfect balance and better flying for sure. Always before I'd have to adjust the trim to ofset the CG problem. Now the trim tab is centered and liftoff is mostly straight up in calm weather.
