  • V bar or spartan vortex

    Was having a look at the vortex and it seems ok and set up vid also seems pretty easy and straight forward, so what i would like to know is, how does it fly in terms of feel and locked in and does it fly better than the v bar?

          Most flybarless units have that locked in feeling your looking for, if setup correctly

            What about resilience to vibrations?
            Was wondering if a Vortex would be better with my YS120 than my VBar.

              The old black sensor V Bars were running on gassers years ago,i wouldnt worry about that in the slightest.

                I'd say as everyone has different likings and settings everyone would say "his/her" setup feels perfect or close to it - but you need to find your feel and setup which may differ quite a bit ... so even flying someones setup wont possibly reveal how you could tune it to your liking ... so basically what I am trying to say - get them try them sell them if it doesnt work for you ...

                  Can't really go wrong with either ... Sparten is the new cool kid on the block ... Vbar is old, trusted and reliable .... its highly subjective

                          It's personal preference at the end of the day.

                          Our club chairman has flown all the major ones (3G, 3GX, Vbar, Brain/Ikon, Beast X and Vortex) and he likes the Brain the best. He said it felt perfect first time he took off. His Vortex he had a lot of problems with when it was on his Trex 500 on V2. Now it's on a Goblin 500 on V3 software and he rates it above Vbar.

                          Personally, I've only flown Beast X and Vbar, and I much prefer Vbar.
                          Current fleet: Goblin Thunder Sport (700), Trex 700L, Logo 600, Specter 700, Henseleit TDR, V-Baaa control.
                          Next heli: I have pretty much everything I want. Maybe I'll upgrade some electronics or something.

                              Oh yeah Dave I think he's got it.I forgot he had bought one for the 700.
                              Not testing anything though,already got too many issues.
