alright, I tried beastx and v-bar v5 on my 450 with Mikado head. Might be, that the head is optimized for the V-bar. That said, it's clear 3-0 for Mikado:
- cyclic is more accurate. Less bounce in abrupt stops
- MUCH more steady tail. The wobble in side-in tictocs is gone
- Lighter.

PS: I paid for both :-)

BeastX works excellent on larger helis and equal to the V-Bar I can vouch for that.

Never flown the 450 with one.

I paid for mine too.

V-Bar all the way for me..

Had BeastX - It just did not fly well at all.

Went V-Bar - Never looked back.

Paid for by me aswell.

With the new paddle simulation on Vbar 5.1 People will like it alot more!! now you can really smack it down on the deck!

Setup problem callum.

Mine flew real nice as does Richie Clark's 550e with one fitted, He can fly a bit. Duncan also did very well at the Champs with one fitted IIRC.

Looking forward to it immensely.

I agree also Beast x V1and v bar v5 IMHO is next to zero difference inflight used both systems on several models.

Well done to the beast x team for getting such good performance from the word go.

i forgot to mention: the Mikado head has very soft dampers, compared to others. Might be the reason.

Haven't flown the V Bar but had my BeastX on the 600 for 6 months or so. I'm not a sponsored, nor a smackdown pilot like you Callum. I had to pay for mine! It's nonsense to say it doesn't fly well, maybe in your case though. There are far too many people flying the Beast more than capable of finding any limitations. You couldn't have set it up correctly as Tim said above. If you had you would have saved yourself around £100.

There is a great long thread going on rr where a bloke who does smack down is comparing both on the same machine.

Only thing according to him that lets the beast down is the tail.

The vbar has the best tail going

I would probably agree Ben, again not being an outstanding pilot by any standards I originally thought the tail was as good as my 720. I now think differently, without wind the tail is fine and for the feel is really good, but stick a 20mph wind up he field and it's a different story. Don't get me wrong the tail holds fine but it's inconsistent whether pirouetting or changing direction.

1 sold put my name on it Mr Johnson.....

keep in mind, what I said is that *on my 450* the beastx loses against the v-bar in every respect but price.
I tried very hard to make an objective statement without letting myself being dragged into another product-xyz-bashing thread. But maybe I didn't try hard enough.
Anyway, the setup was done quite carefully, I spent several hours on different days. The V-bar worked immediately. Everything was *exactly* the same.
Tail, see above. It's quite obvious.
I might give it another chance in my 700 or another 'big' heli, they are less fussy than the small ones.
Also, the massive metal bottom plate is maybe more acceptable there
