Default hummingbird aluminum head stiffener

here is a mod i made that helped my hb heli fly way better. 100% better foward flight, also seemed to have more lift. The carbon blades also help. I posted some pics with the thread, check it out

Do you notice more control with the head stiffner?
What would be the advantage.. Thanks

flyflie,

I think there is more precise control, the head is not flexing when you put in control input. so when you move the stick, your control input is not being lost in your head flex. AS the same as you also loose some control by the blades flexing also. just my opinion though.
