450 3Gx and a Flybar'd 450 heli

[Lcrrick]

I am building a cheap HK450 v2 kit, replaced the standard head with flybarless and had it all set up with a 3gx. First flight going great until "gravity" took out the head. I am wondering what would happen if I put a flybar'd spindle back on it with the 3gx? Is it worth doing while I am waiting for replacement parts. I am curious what it would it fly like? Anyone try it? Thoughts? I am kind of a newb so if this is a dumb thought be gentle with me.

The flybar head does the job of the flybarless unit. The two would be working in variously together or in conflict with one another and probably result in some very erratic behavior.

I can't believe someone hasn't tried this before and videoed it, check youtube.

It has been tried before, though, and all research i've done on it indicates it goes badly. Quickly.

I'm with Paul on this one. I would not try it.

what do you mean by flybarred spindle, do you mean the head assy or just the feathering shaft that connects the two main blade grips,

how much damage did you do to the head
