Default RE: Blade Sizes vs. Performance

You would have enough lift if the headspeed is high enough but it would be slugish in responce. Longer stiffer blades like Cfs are the most responsive due to low loading and high tip speed.
There was a disscussion on longer flybars on RR and there was a consensus that a longer flybar made the heli both more responsive and more stable!
