Flybar Weights, Head Dampening Shims and Fine-Tuning Cyclic Response
Right out of the box, your Blade CP+ is equipped with flybar weights that are secured in their
outermost position against the flybar paddles.
In this position, the weights help to provide added stability by increasing the amount of cyclic input
required to overcome the gyroscopic force of the flybar paddles. In general, flying with the weights
in this position will still provide good cyclic response, but with reduced sensitivity (especially when
in hover), when compared to having them positioned closer to the head/main shaft on the flybar.
We suggest that you make your first flights with the flybar weights in this position before making any
adjustments.
If, after the first few flights, you feel as though the cyclic response is too quick, we recommend the
addition of one or more weights on each side of the flybar, next to the weights that were already
installed. Additional weights are available separately in packs of two (EFLH1165). With the added
weights installed, the cyclic response will become noticeably less responsive.
If, after the first few flights, you would prefer to have even quicker and more aggressive cyclic
response, you can reposition the flybar weights so that they are closer in to the head/main shaft on
the flybar. It is usually best to move the weights in only a small distance at a time before making each
subsequent test flight, until you find the position at which you prefer the cyclic response most.
