Hi guys has anyone converted their 60 to flybarless? I have successfully done my furion 450 and wanted to do the same to my 60 I have done this tonight I don' want to be spending anything on it some cutting the mixing arms and a mod here and there tell me what your thoughts are thanks Richard sorry about the layout of photos !

I have seen very similar flybarred heads converted successfully. The one thing I would mention is that usually there's a bit of reduction in throws between the swash and the grips (or really between the servos and the grips). So either longer stand-offs on the grips where the links attach or shorter ones where they attached to the swash. I suppose you could also achieve a reduction somewhere else in the linkage to the servos. It may be fine just as it is though, I'm not sure if there's any rule of thumb about the ratio of servo movement to degrees of cyclic.

It looks like the phase is a little off from 90 degrees but it's where the blades are ahead of the swash which should be OK.

i had the missfortune of test flying one for a chap
it flew like a sack of poo
but this may have been due to the idiot that set the model up and the cheapo fbl unit and radio

if done correctly then i wouldn't see a problem
i've converted std heads to fbl and they've flown well
