Re: What are Flybar used for ??

Since no one answered the original question reasonably--
The flybar, paddles, and possibly balance weights act as a gyroscope, and
decouple the movement of the helio body from the rotor..
See/search Bell Hiller, Hiller Rotormatic  for details.

In Bell's version, the swashplate is linked to the grip. Cyclic input is
transferred to the blades immediately. In a Hiller head, the inputs are
modified by the flybar. Mixing arms allow the best of both worlds. In a
helio without a flybar, links go directly between the swashplate and
grips.
This type of helio is very responsive to cyclic inputs.
