On my Ergo 46 I have two options for the attachment of the links that connect the washout to the flybar. The balls can be attached either at the ends of the washout arms or a few millimeters inboard. When I switch to the outboard location, I do get an increase in paddle angle BUT I have to reduce the ATV to avoid binding (the flybar balls hit the underside of the head) thus reducing direct swash to blade cyclic input by about one degree.

So, this looks like a trade-off.

I have flown the Ergo with the inboard setup (less paddle deflection more main blade deflection) and it seems that the cyclic rates are O.K. for turns and non-3D flight so I will be trying the second setup next weekend.

What bothers me about trying the new setup (links outboard on the washout arms) is that even though I am already using a very small servo arm I have to reduce the ATV therefore losing resolution (using only about 70% of the servo capability!

Of course, a THIRD alternative would be to stay with oruiginal setup (links inboard on the washout arms) and get lighter/more effective paddles than stock!

I am wondering what the more experienced pilots have to contribute.

Thanks
