3GX usit or loose it !!!

Ok folks I am well use to fbl helis and have just been given a fbl align 550 V2 , the kit with the 3GX , so my dilemma is ,.........
Do I use it or sell it ??? The 3 Gx that is.

I have a spare Total Glitch , my fbl of choice , and tbh I could spend the dish on some night blades so do I flog it or use it?

Any 3GX lovers out there who want to persuade me to keep it ?

Merry Christmas all
X Rachel

Hi Rachel.

While the 3GX is not the best, vbar takes that crown, it is still a remarkably capable unit once setup.

I'd say keep it, stick to V1.1 firmware and stick my settings on it and go enjoy, I think you'll be surprised.
You know me I'm always around if you hit problems.

Bin it lol its that simple ! Get a vbar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im with rob,not used 3gx myself but seen it wipe out one 500 and come close to a second lol

No one has had issues on vbar with set up at the field so far.

Im tempted to stick it on the 700E, just out of curiosity really even though I have a spare VBar.

They are pretty good value for money, as the go for £120 with USB programming stick etc.

I used one on my 550 for a while and was pretty impressed with it.

I have another one coming with a 700e combo but will be fitting it onto my 6hv and putting a mini v onto my 700e.As above I was considering selling it on for maybe £120 and getting an AR7200bx but this is again a further outlay so why not use what you have.

So in essence I think they are good but the V Bar is a better unit.Although the V Bar is a more polished product I really liked the cyclic feel of the 3gx,it was very sharp and IMHO the tail was excellent.

Buy once, buy right!

[Sharpedge]

I say stick with it Rachel and make your own mind up once you've given it a whirl. If you decide to sell can I bag first shout.

Can't believe you were given a 550! Lucky beggar!

I have found that the 3gx works great. Using Firmware version 1.2, have finding it soild. Though I am selling my 550 to find out what make vbar so good!

Eeerrrrmmm, let me think, in a word No! Seen Ian Contessa ditch his and a mate spend weeks not flying whilst chasing issues with one. BeastX (other flybarless controllers are available ) fit, setup and forget.

Have to say align stuff works for me,just bought myself a 3gx off here yesterday to go on my new 550 v1,so short answer is use it or sell it- your choice.
