the cyclic fork/yoke the the cyclic tube goes into has a long tang and a short tang. the short tang faces aft and hooks to the cable, the long tang faces forward and goes to the dual cyclic tie link. this forward tang and hole is twice the distance than the rear tang. so flipping the yoke for the long tang on the cables increases the throw to the cables, rigging then is necessary for the cyclic stops to not over pitch the swashplate, which would halve the cyclic lateral travel.
this isnt so much about increasing authority because it has zero change to the rigging angle and travel at the swashplate but instead changes the feel at the controls. the people who posted on ROG they had done so said it felt minimally different but with less cyclic interference with their legs.
it makes sense looking at it, i'm just weary about changing designs from the original unless absolutely necessary performance gains or necessary for safety in my eyes.
