Just a quick question on the bailout function, if you're inverted and hit the bailout does it stay inverted and just level out or does it flip upright?

I do like the idea of having a bailout on just one heli, using that to try new stuff knowing you can always save it if things get wonky, then be able to do those same moves with confidence on the other helis.

Your choice, you can set it up to do which ever you prefer.

Ok,I get that,my issue is that if I'm inverted and I get the dreaded "brain freeze"-I would want it to either roll out or flip to level flight,then what?,, does it allow you time to catch your breath and hold the heli stationary or am I asking too much from this system?

If you set it to go upright, then it will flip the right way up and then climb.

How fast it climbs is up to you as that is another setting.

Most people choose to use a momentary switch or button for the rescue function, that way you can hold it as long or as short as you want.

In most cases a short press is enough, if still not ready then another dab will pop it up a little higher.

They have brought the patent to the bailout from Captron. The rest of it, is their own. (thats from the houses mouth!)

Did they really buy the patent or did they forge a legally binding agreement inorder to be able to develop their product without Captron slapping them with patent infringement. I would think its the latter. Regardless, the point is that it does not sound as if they bought any technology. Spirit is their own baby.

As far as I know they have a licence from the owner of the patent which describes the methodology which both Captron and now Spirit use.

The technology is all their own.

ive ordered one for my logo 500

[stephenk]

what sort of delivery time do they take ive heard about 3 weeks

[Mark_T]

Depends mostly on what happens in the mail system between them mailing it and you getting it, I've had as little as a week and I've seen people report up to 3 weeks ...

[Made2Fade]

1 week seems the average... Had mine in 3 days last year.

I ordered one 27th of December during Christmas holidays. They shipped it Jan 2nd. It was in my local post office in Canada and ready for pick up on the 12th of Jan. My PO took 24 hours of that. I was quite impressed. I just need a heli for it now.
