If you have the bell hiller head than leave the flybar weights on for now.

you should focus on finding the parts causing the majority of the play/slop and replace them. smooth tight mechanics is key to predictable control.

key areas are the ball links...the loops around the balls.

also check the control rods where they go through the servo control arms....

BTW....about the flybar weights...removing them destabalizes the main rotor disk making it respond even faster to swashplate input. destabilization is not the best way to get better cyclic response but it is a less expesive way. Mechanical increases in cyclic response (combining bell and hiller) is the preferable route. Micro's are inherently unstable due to size and thus more dificult to fly. retaining stability through weighting the blades/paddles can make the flying experience better...more predictable.

Stock, the BCP has considerable play but it still flies quite well for the price. All you can do is monitor the wear, replace the parts as they wear, ballance it all as best as possible and fly it.....

practice practice practice. When you know how to fly....once you get the hang of flying a heli....the stock bcp is quite controllable. Hang in there....its a great training system.

thanks for the info. i am going to make up a list of things to get and replace anyway so when checking over i will ckeck out the ball links and see if they are in need of replacing
