Which flybarless system

[trexsteve700]

Hi all,
i have a trex 250 that im toying with the idea of changing to flybarless, however i fly with hitec aurora 9 and am confussed to which system to use as some use spektrum sats and another only works best with futaba sbus.
Also only being a small heli, i dont want loads of boxes to cram in.
what would you all recommend and why.
thanks in advance

I am using the beastx with my heli's (trex500 & fusion 50) & fly using the hitec aurora 9, think your biggest problem would be the placement of the beastx on the 250 but you would be able to remove the gyro.

I would recommend a Mini V-Bar for the best flight performance and reliability. It's all contained in one box, you can use Spektrum satellites or a normal receiver with it.

Not sure how the Hitec system's work with regards to that, you might have to use a separate RX?

Would have to be a seperate Rx I think.

I have a BeastX in my 250 and use a R617FS Futaba receiver. They fit in the 250 fine but had to make some short leads from the receiver to the BeastX (just for neatness!). I originally did have the 3G in my 250 but the BeastX is miles better. The new 3 channel SBus receiver would fit very nicely in the 250 as well.

i use a beastx in my 250 fbl i also have a tiny spektrum reciever 6110 i think and it all fits quite nicely one thing i do advise is get your self an mks d95i tail servo it transforms the 250

[danch]

The current receiver you have for the 250 should be fine, just have to choose your weapon of choice for the FBL system

Thanks for the replies chaps. next question is would an SE canopy fit a standard 250 as it needs replacing and i prefer some of the SE schemes to the standard ones

I have a 3GX in my 250. It fits in very easily and just uses 2 satellites. Can't really comment on how good it is though since I am an awful pilot and am still to replace the tail boom after my maiden crash.

I agree with Laurence. Mini vbar is best option because its easy to setup and it has the best perfoance but is a lot more money but deffinalty go mini vbar if you are willing to spend the money

i have tried the beastx and the align 3g on the 250 se i would recommend the align 3g to work the best on the 250 i had ran it with a separate rx

[Dudifiedad]

If u were to get the 3g system then i would update it to v3 because the older ones aren't very good compared to systems nower days

Hey.

I'd suggest the other way from experience, keep the 3G at V2.1 as the cyclic feel is much better. V3 made real improvements to the tail but degraded cyclic performance for me on my machines.

Surely with your skill and knowledge you would be able to do a version comparison for the settings and do an amalgamation of the two? Or is it the programming and the way it works that is so different? (I am just learning)

I've just put a 3GX on my T-rex 500, and it is very good, I've flown a few other flybarless heli's, another T-rex 500 and a Logo 400 with the Vbar on, and tbh there is not much in it.
