Flybar Weights, Head Dampening Shims and Fine-Tuning Cyclic Response
Right out of the box, your Blade™ CP Pro 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 quick and aggressive 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 or aggressive, we recommend the
addition of one 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, the cyclic response will be
noticeably less responsive and aggressive.
