This paddle is an RC-scale replacement designed specifically for 60-size FAI F3C helicopters that run a D=4mm flybar. It provides the defined mounting point between the swashplate/cyclic assembly and the flybar or tail linkage, accepting rods and ball links for collective and tail control tasks.
Fitting is simple for those experienced with swashplate linkages: remove the old paddle, ensure rod lengths and ball link alignment remain correct, then secure the new paddle using the existing fasteners. After installation, double-check linkage geometry and eliminate any free play to achieve neutral pitch and accurate cyclic movement prior to flight.
For trimming and setup, this paddle supports consistent geometry and predictable handling. Use it while establishing pitch curves and adjusting tail gain so inputs remain steady across collective and cyclic ranges for reliable flying performance.
