Kbar / Vbar Mini Gov hook up with standard RX

[helimadness]

Hi All.

Got a Kbar which is the Vbar copy for my 250. Things works a treat. Idendical to vbar as far as I can tell.

Anyway trying to work out how to hook up the phase sensor for the Gov. I have 2 full size Vbars and they have separate ports for the RPM Signal.
Everything I have read and watched on youtube says to put the signal into RXA. Problem is that is the Aileron elevator and rudder signal from the RX. The Brown on where it says to plug the gov sensor in is the Aileron. So what do you do with the Aileron ?

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

I've done mine like this on my 450s:

VBar 5.2 - Episode 19 - Phase sensor on Mini - YouTube

Taking 3.3V from the spare spektrum satellite port by cutting a satellite cable and crimping a male servo connector on the end.

What are you using by way of a receiver? The governor can only be used a) if you have the pro upgrade and b) you are not using a standard receiver but s-bus or spektrum satellites.

Yeah, what he said. ^^^^^

I missed the part where you said it RXA was already used.

Hi,

Using JR XG7 which is DMSS so no sat option. Standard RG831B RX so all ports taken.

Would be nice if they said that its not an option with standard RX before I brought the Phase sensor. Oh well got a spare phase sensor now. Maybe they will bring out sats for the DMSS system one day

Was looking forward to getting a GOV going on the 250 :-) Anyone know what the Align ESC built in Govs are like on the RCE-BL15P ?

Cheers

Where do you get the kbar from?

[RcRotaryMadness]

As someone else said, to use governor on the mini vbar you have to use S-Bus or a sat that will plug into the sat ports on the vbar. To keep the package small they cut back on the number of plugs. Something that could be improved i think.

Where do you get the kbar from?

Living in China at the moment so there are dozens of places online selling them for about 45 quid. Can you get them there?

[michael_fly_more]

I've seen the fubar on hobby king but that was removed

any links or poss pm me a link would be good please

[bigpops]

Kbars are on ebay for fifty odd quid, shipped from China as you'd expect. Just search for kbar flybarless.

The K Bar is readily available online and is indeed from the same family as the Fubar,its marketed by Koala rc and i linked it in the Fubar thread weeks ago,and yes it does work as well as the Fubar,and of course the real macoy.

There is also the gv8000 another exact copy.

Both these products used to run 5.2 express but now the latest software is on them like the Fubar.

I am living in China so got mine off the local ebay "taobao"

Not sure it is possible for overseas people to buy off here easily. If you can read and Speak chinese you might be able to get someone to ship. I paid 44 quid for mine and works perfect. It has the latest Vbar version and has the pro upgrade already installed.
