Flybarless Rotor Head Systems > 120 vs 140 SK360 Vibe50

I'm about to install a SK360 in my 2nd Vibe50. Does anyone know if the SK360 has issues with a 140 swash setup? I know my VBar Vibe 50 works best with 120.

Can't wait to have both

I made the same question to Skookum support, this was the reply:

It should work well either way. There is only a small difference in the mixing applied between 120 and 140 deg swashplates.

lets hope it does. that "small" difference is enough to put the vbar on its knees or at least thats what I'm being told.

Anyway,

I'm almost sure you'll get a VBar and try the CCPM 140 setup with the updated geometry

Oh I will try it for sure and if it doesn't work I'm going to start to bitch and to moan. If the geometry is adjustable, than it has to work in any configuration as long as it reflects the reality. If it doesn't then either somebody is lying with all his teeth and selling something that doesn't do what is announced or we have a bug that has to be corrected.

I'll let you folks know what happens.

Completely agree. I'll try 140 on the SK360.

OTH it can be a bug since how many FBL setup are there using 140 ? I'm sure that 120 geometry has been through much more testing than 140. Afaik only JR has 140 CCPM.
