| Well not entirely. Regardless of inverted or not, we still have the relationship of the main blades to the rest of the airframe, which really won't change. To far from the airframe, and the heli may flip or roll easily. Too close and you'll get boom strikes, more easily. I think the ideal would be to run the blades as low as possible or move as much weight as possible up to the blades. Of course this assumes you as a pilot can handle the added lack of stability, I'm not there. This is the reason I'm in favor of moving the battery up high like most of the 450 size and up helis. I'm also in favor of moving the motor and servos up high (like the RC TEK) instead of down low like the Trex.
However in then end, I think there is a long list of other factors that influence flight characteristic more than the flybar's location. Things like head dampers, head speed, plastic vs metal head, type and length of blade, servo speed, and most importantly the skill of the pilot.
With the HBK2 the smaller size gives it an inhierent instability so most of these things are really requires to get it to move around a snappy way.
One thing that always baffled me about the eFlight Blade is they have the blades very very low. They could get some stability for free by extending the head half an inch. |
As far as flight characteristics I cant answer that but you learning don't want your main blades closer to your tailboom. Ouch
I haven't flown the overslung so wasn't gonna make a call on that. Being mostly electrical I do understand In theory the geometry of the force being closer to the body should give more response to the body of the heli. But on the same token a bigger lever (rotor to body distance)Can exert more force. Sounds like 6 one way half dozen the other or is your cup half empty or half full sort of thing.
if they can really feel the difference at the sticks , i'll bet they peeked
