130 has spoiled my flying???

[dillwhacker]

Well.. I've been flying about a 1 1/2 years or so now.
Up till April I seemed to be doing OK - fast 8's, circuits, nose-in, the odd flip & roll on the 450 & pretty happy flying the 500s fast and furious around the place.
Then I had a 4 month break due to work etc.
Then 3 weeks ago I got a Blade 130 and absolutely loved it! Just seemed that I could do stuff with this that I never could with the 450, 500 or the MCPX.
Now today, in the wind, I try to fly my 450 and 500 and both seem really horrid to fly - hard to explain, but I just feel I am constantly having to correct for stuff that I didnt do.
I tried the 130 in the same session - brilliant - flew all over the place wih no stressfdul moments at all. Loved it to bits!
So the question is this..
Am I seeing for the first time what FBL can do for the 'feel' of a heli, or have I just forgotten a load of skills that I need to re-learn?
All opinions very welcome!

i think your FB helis arent set up right. go over the head and linkage set up.

the pros of a flybarless heli is that even a badly set up heli flys ok for a begginer

Trev - from what I saw yonks ago, your flybarred helis are setup uber sensitive. The 130 is probably miles more sedate and self corrects a lot more. Hence, you feel like you're over-correcting with the 450/500. Did you ever add flybar weights or change the paddles to heavier, blunter one like I suggested a while back? These two cheap changes will make the flybarred helis much more like the 130, and you may well find them more enjoyable to fly.
