sthrash,
Your better off keeping your servo linkages where they are, just add 1/16" I.D. wheel collars to the flybar (1 each side), unscrew the flybar paddles, position the wheel collars just inside of the flybar paddles. Make sure the lengths of the flybar paddles are equal from the stabilizer hub out to each side, (a strip of shirt-cardboard & a pencil works good, butt one end of cardboard strip against stabilzer Hub, mark other end at inside of paddle, compare to other side, adjust paddles, & re-check distances), be sure to tighten the set-screw on the wheel collar & use locktite.
With the additional weight of the wheel collars on either side of the flybar, and all the way out towards the paddles, cyclic control will be dulled. As your skills progress, you can move the wheel collars in closer to the stabiziler hub, cyclic control will become more responsive. When your ready, or you've moved the collars all the way inside, remove them.
