Yes you do loose the flybar. Anything above two blades the flybar is gonzo. If you look at a pic of a tri-head at cnchelicopter.com you will notice there is no washout or seesaw. Pretty much only a swash and pitch is controlled by ur Tx if I'm correct. I haven't done it either, yet, but from those I've talked with it is a lot harder to control as well. Flybar adds a lot of stability.
hope this answers ur Q
happy fly'n

no flybar but you can get stability systems to help with it. basically it's a gyro for your cyclic, expensive though

thanks guys.. like I said, I'm not looking to change over, it somehow looks more complicated and I hate setting up the pitch anyhow, so why add more blades to do it too?
Dumbdawg, that was the exact site I was at and looking at those heads that made me wonder about losing the flybar...
