ORIGINAL: HelisRule

I have what I think is a pretty basic question, but is still unknown by this relative newbie. In allthe different R/C helis out there of different shapes and sizes, I've noticed something that seems to not be unique to any particular type - the location of the flybar. Why are some above and some below the main rotors? Is it similar to the difference between a wing-over plane and a wing under one?

Thanks.

Read This link below , May help a tad as how the real ones work. I never liked details and more like a laymans term type guy. Basically it stabilizes the entire rotor system whenever you make any type of input into the sytem. (Keeps it as level as possible) Since cyclic and collective is a constant application-there you have it.
