Hallo,

is there anybody out there with experience (best would be comparisons) of

- Helicommand
- V-Stabi
- Gyrobot
- SK-360 digital flybar

for multibladed (espacially three-bladed) (rigid)rotors?

Thanks for any hint,
Werner

For multi-blade heads you're better off just flying them "as is". They're
more stable than one would imagine (too stable in a lot of cases).

The only "real" difference is when you reach "flap-back" speeds in
forward/backwards/sideways flight and if you're aware of when this happens,
a simple prod of the cyclic in the direction of travel will sort it out
instantly.

Hallo Beav,

thank you for your answer.

Yes and no...

To be a little bit more precise:

- There is an OF-head with M-Blades on my Jetranger, it's working well with
60% expo (for my needs). This heli is flying different to others, as other
helis do...

- Now I mounted a 3-blade on my Alouette (Vario two bolds, looking very
good...). As you said, it's very stable when hovering. But when flying
around, sometimes I need very much swashplate-motion and sometimes very
small. I don't like it and can't ged rid of it with more or less expo....

I read about the V-Stabi and the gyroBot. Both seem to be the right things
for me. But there are others (cheaper) on the market and I'd like some
comparisons before buying one...

Best regards,
Werner

Different they are, but not uncontrolably so. Wll not usually :-)

Maybe a set of heavier blades is the answer.

Good thinking.

You're better at English than I am at German, I'll tell you that :)
