| About the only advantage of a flybarless head is its realistic looks. They are considerably harder to fly (especially in wind and forward flight), and have some wierd tendancies - such as flipping inverted if you roll off collective too quickly!
On a larger machine you can get used to them, I converted my Ergo to flybarless (just for a laugh) after a few tanks you get used to it and on a calm day can cruse around quite comfortably. Was even tempted to try a loop, but at the time i was a student and couldn't afford to fix it if it went wrong so decided against it. You just have to keep holding in down elevator as you fly fowards, the faster you want to go the more down elevator you have to hold in.
Give it a go if you want, just link the swash direct to the blade grips... but im sure you will go back to a flybar head pretty quick, unless you are into scale type flight only, and like a challenge.
