wheel collars on trexs flybar?
hi all.
i'am in the process of mellowing out my trexer, (so the little monster and i can get to know each other better) as i have just given it a home and there needs to be some understanding between, it and me. it is, dang good!! and i'am not!!..
so my question is, i've read that you can calm the thing down some if you put wheel weights on the flybar (readit here actually)
well i have 4 of them left over from a honeebee2, would these work? and would they have to be put in the same place as they are, on the honeebees?.. (2 on each side) i just want to hoover around for now thats all, this baby wants to go ballistic.. and i am not ready for that yet.[&o]
thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm sure they wouild work if they fit on the flybar. I beleive that the further out the more tame it will be.
There are other things that will help also like a little expo will go a long way. Also the hole your using on the servo.

Personally, as a beginner, I prefer duals over expo. If you use expo it will be even more twitchy if you need big stick movements, with duals it's just less twitchy all the way. You can turn it up again when you need more movement.
The ball links help some.
Have 2 wheel collars closest to the paddlers on my Rex, helps quite a bit.
Removing slop and/or binding on elev/aileron helps quite a bit.
