Avant Aurora - EFX - FX > EFX First Flight

I just flew my EFX for the first time yesterday. I was really impressed at how smooth it was considering the donor model didn't seem that smooth. I am using the EVo head with the CX mods and CX dampers and i kind of expected it to be a bit more lively. I have V-blade paddles with 690 Radix mains. I am getting about 6-7 degrees of cyclic pitch and I am using the large delta spacers. Will the thin spacers make it more responsive? I think the manual says to use the thick ones for hard 3d! It just seems a bit too locked in..... My Friend is flying a Synergy and it seems to be more responsive. Can i improve on my head setup or do i need to buy the CX programmable head? Any comments appreciated.

I wish that head was less expensive. I've really been tempted to buy one lately.

yes i am using the metal yoke with cx dampers. Are the thin delta spacers for milder 3D or wilder?

well i guess the manual has a mistake in it! They state that the thick spacers are for hard 3D!

or if you look at the heli with big spacers in and imagen the blade flexing up the efect off the big spacers is going to take off pitch from the blade which i can seeing it make the meli more stable not so good for 3d

Thanks d3sbo, I will try the thin spacers with also changing the ball positions on the mixing arms.
