My question is......
On real helicopters, you have leading edge control, meaning the ball-link is sitting towards the leading edge on the blade grips, which makes perfect sense to me. I see on Trex 600's with flybar less heads, it is the opposite. I just don't get how that works....
On real helis, (and on my vario for that matter) Swash action takes place 90 degrees in from of the baldes. How does it work the other way around????? Call me a dummy, but I gotta see some examples.

dont let the position confuse you as all it does is raise and lower pitch while the shaft does all the turning...hope this helps.


BTW...there are "real" helis with flybars.

I know there are real helis with flybars. I didnt mean about that. I was strictly concerned about the position compared to the leading edge.

HUUUUHHHH?
(guess I am a dummy....)
So are you saying it makes no diference what so ever which way you hook it up?

the 90º position is not measured relative to the control ball on the grip. It is measured relative to the input location on the swash plate.

Yep, makes no difference. I've changed my Trex450 from trailing edge control to leading edge control and it made no difference.

Damn maybe I should have my pilot license revoked

I gotta check it out. I just got a nice hawk 30 with nothing better to do, I'm gonna rip it apart and do some experimenting. Go flybar less.
thanx
