Anyone ready to pop a review up yet - how does it compare to vbar, beast x and the mightly align 3gx! LOL

I've had about 10 or so flights so far. Tail is an issue, the stops are way too hard and it bounces. Cyclic feel is great, feels better or at least as good as a well setup vbar depsite me having some wobbles in flight which is linked to the tail. Overall, it's great.

Done also about 10 batteries, but only in the back garden sorting the tail out. I had all the problems of bounce and inconsistency - but after much playing around, I would say tail is perfect. Dare I say better than Vbar.
Cyclics feel great (and I haven't touched any parameters) however on fast pirouetting there is a slight wobble. Simple answer would be to try and play with the gain (but there is more than 1 gain value to alter - lol). I will have to take it to the field to play with it properly. It's not as plug n' play like the Vbar - but initial impressions are that it has the potential to at least equal it.
Time will tell ...Comment

Thats encouraging. Ill hold off investing in another Vbar for the EFL pro then and maybe look at putting a brain on it instead.NONE OF THE BELOW HELI'S ARE OWNED BY ME ANY MORE

Cheers for the replies Lynx.1677 & Obi Wan, I should've maybe expanded the post a little bit more to say "and is running a separate BEC".
I know Lynx you're powering your unit from the ESC, what about you Obi Wan, ESC or separate BEC?Comment

ESC only - I'm running it on a Trex 500.

Did 3 more flights today and I LOVE it. Waiting for my Vbar to come back from Mikado and honestly, I will keep the Brain on it. Really nice feel to the heli and so many parameters to tune to get it just right. Still having bounce on tail stops but this will be sorted with an update soon.

Dan,
Have you tried to increase the Derivate gain up to between 40 to 60 -> this stopped the bounce for me.
The Integral gain was low about 11 and proportional on Transmitter was around mid 20's. Stop gain = 0.
(I'm at work and these are off the top of my head).

Hey Paul, no not tried that. Will give it a whirl. In flight I don't even notice it really it's just when I do stationary piro's while hovering in one spot.
Will report back after more flights tomorrow.
Cheers!

Out of interest, do you have to have two sats installed if you want to use it as a receiver or will one do, at least in the short term?
So nearly bought one just now but then my purchasing impulse was overtaken by my confusion of which heli to put it on (450 Sport or 500 ESP) and which head to buy (think DFC looks to be the one) as well as the £200+ it was going to cost for the whole upgrade. On the otherside as it's the bank holiday I'm also hoping we'll get a quick round of 10% discount offers from Fast lads and the like, I can then pick it up for a bargain

A bit of an update, it turned out to be a compatability issue of the DSMX sats, even though the sats were illuminating after the binding. Read a couple of posts about binding issues and tried a couple of DSM2 sats and have managed to get the unit setup on the wizard.Comment

Happy you liked it, don't loose your faith, we are working on the tail to sort out bouncing and stops. For stop strenght we will have it set by the wizard but probably we will add a new parameter too in the advanced so everybody can taylor it to their likings.Originally posted by Lynx.1677 View Post
For the ciclic, please try to have no more than 10° when you set it up in the swashplate menu.
Actually i am flying a "no bouncing" tail at the moment but we are stress testing it to make sure that, beside it doesn't bounce anymore, it didn't loose any of the good characteristics...
