
Thefactory‐installed‘standardlength’stabilizerflybarhelpsthecoaxial,counter‐rotating
bladedesigndeliverexcellentinherentstabilityandself‐levelingcapability.Thisworksvery
wellwhenflyingindoors(oroutdoorsincalmconditions),however,canalsomakeitmore
difficulttoquicklychangedirectioninand‘penetrate’thewindwhen
flyingoutdoors.Inmany
casesthestandardlengthflybarcanevenpreventthehelicopterfromchangingdirection
and/orstabilizingquicklyenoughcausingittopitchorbanktoananglethatcannotbe
recoveredfrombeforeresultinginacrash.

TheseconsiderationsinmindyouMUSTinstalltheoptionalshortlengthstabilizerflybar
(IFLH1319X)whenplanningtoflyoutdoorsinwindsupto5‐10mph.Theshortlengthflybar
willstilloffersomedegreeofinherentstabilityandself‐levelingcapability,however,italso
makesitpossibletochangedirectionfaster
inandtobetterpenetratewind.
