Head stopper

What is the reason for this part. Is it just for looks?..

Hi there, have you a pic?

I am sure someone will be able to help if they can see the part you mean!

Happy Flying

Are you talking about the button on top of the head? I use it to stop the blades if they're still turning when the engine is idling.

So just for looks then?

For looks. I always take mine off.

#1 because they can cause more damage in crashes with some helicopter designs due to restricting blade grip travel.

#2 less weight and IMO looks better without it.

As for slowing down the blades auto it down and use pitch to slow the blades down.
