Default flybar length

I am in the process of fixing some crash damage. The new flybar length is 220 mm The one I am replaceing is 190 mm I am kind of a beginner, so I am assuming the 220mm would be better for me. Am I right? Thanks

Yes, a longer flybar would be better for you.

That's right. It is the same concept as the blades. For example: the 315mm blades are more responsive and less stable than the 325mm blades. It follows with the flybar as well.

is the 335 blades to long for a 450S? I mistakenly ordered the wrong size.

Nope. I've flown those before just fine.

Thanks guys, Got my Trex back together, with the longer flybar, and flybar weights. It really calmed it down. It suits me fine for now. I have been mostly hovering it inside my garage. I live in FL in the winter, where the weather is great, but windy. Thanks again.

I think I will replace my bro's flybar with a 220mm one, and add flybar weights for him as well. Should help smooth things out even more for him

Are the 335's hard for the stock Align motor, the G version, not the X, to keep up? I imagine they are nice and stable, especially with the 220 flybars.
