RE: Hard Right Plus More!
Wow, stupid me, i have/had the EXACT same issue with the Dynam flybar! :| 
I think the Xtreme-upgrades got my sidetracked as i just yet found i couldn't get blade tracking correct either! Lil' ol' Dremel has helped me out, cutting little less then 1mm of the 'female' linkage. I'll try sanding (also with the Dremel) on another linkage. I think the thread is 5mm 'long' so you can probably safely remove 2mm right? Scary though .

shufflez,
I did notice a while back that you were using the DV flybar and meant to mention to you that although it is shorter, it is about 2g heavier than stock.
That probably helps you for outdoor flight but you might try popping those weights off and putting on some lighter lock collars for indoors.
Just a thought.

Glad it worked for you.
It's not my origianl idea, I read it somewhere...probably here and it stuck.
My brain is like a sponge...you just have to squeeze it sometimes, to get the information out.

Here's where You got it ! Tip number 2.
I think I need to abbreviate it more; it's pretty dry reading.

One point for goldslinger for supplying the information.

Yeah, I like it too and read his book a while back.
Just inspirational stuff like he says at the end of every show.
Also that house is in the town (Saddle River, NJ) where my Dad lived before he moved here.
So a lot of familiar things in the show.

RE: Hard Right Plus More!
I know you appear to have cured the prob, its hard to tell from the last video, as the heli is spooling up, but I think you have the flybar link on the wrong side. People may say it makes no difference, but believe me it does! It should "lead" the blades, not "trail", which I think your is doing. Even if all is ok, take the flybar off, swop it over, so the link is on the other side, and see what happens, if worse, I am wrong looking at your video, if better, pass on the good news!.
I upgraded to xtreme, and whilst I no longer break blades, its much harder to set up, mine are just a bit too sloppy for my liking. THe flybar mod worked for me, and stopped that horrible "swaying" motion that you sometimes get

Okay, wait a minute; it always leads one blade and follows the other; how do You know which side? If I move it to the other side, it will lead one blade and follow the other.
Are You pulling our leg?
I guess I don't get it.Gary

Yea, and a good place to start is adjust the linkage so the grip 90 degrees from the shaft or the flybar parallel with the grips; that'll get You close.
