Dang, Stump3r,

That must be torture waiting.

What I ended up doing because of the XTREME extended head is allowing Me to do was to go ahead and cut the ends off of a new flybar, but leave it only 5mm shorter than stock on each side. Now with the hooks gone, I can add my c.f. re-inforcement (a must have) and only use 2 weights instead of 3; the extra flybar length makes the third collar on each side unecessary because You can use less the longer You go and get the same stability. I already demonstrated that the lesser degree travel on the XTREME lets You use a stock if You want without the start, stop annoyance.

So I dropped a couple of Grams or so, and it behaves like a stock flybar due to the added length adding to the gyroscopic affect (still shorter than stock), have the re-inforcement, and it weighs about the same as stock. I also won't get blade strikes and flybar strikes because of the 5mm XTREME extended head, 5mm shorter flybar each side (1 full centimeter). I'm pretty confident that the heli won't be 'crashing' into itself now.

Jeff (J-MICHAEL) has done experiments, before this new extended head came out, with sliding the weights around; start at the end and move one inward; what it does is give You unlimited increments of adjusting for balancing hover and agility.

I'm finding stock hover and very good agility with what I mentioned. Try it; You may like it !
