  • checking a flybarless setup on the ground

    Hello,

    due to the recent interest in FBL, I made this little video, and my poor helis had to suffer for it .

    The servos need enough authority on the blades, especially for cyclic. Otherwise, the heli won't fly too well.
    This video attempts to give some idea, how stiff the blades should feel. If they clearly offer less resistance than in the video, the setup is wrong. This is also the point behind Mikado's "cyclic gain" calculation tool (which is unfortunately not available in English language edit oh yes it is, see below).

    The shown helis are setup accordingly (the 700 hasn't flown yet, but is done "according to the book".

    More info is in the description on youtube.

    Calc tools Mikado VBar

    This is very interesting and as a committed FBL nut I will try this for myself.

    Here is a link for the CG calc tool in English language.

    And a performance calculator (in German but self explanatory)
    Calculate Performance | Performance Berechung

    Hope it helps

      oooh it -is- available in English.
      Collective angels at work, it seems

      It's highly recommended to go through the spreadsheet, and change the mechanics until your collective gain is in the 80..110 window. Regardless of the flybar controller - Mikado or not, the mechanical problems are the same for all.
      Otherwise, all the parameter twiddling won't fix it.
