stupid question

[dieselcarb]

if the vx1 and vx1n are exactly the same? (please correct me if im wrong.) why is there a massive price difference im just curios. gonna get a nano at week end but already have normal cheers terry

[jimmyhorns]

they use the same sensors, but the package is different.

AFAIK that is the only difference.

It gives your more flexibility with your install on the VX1

stupid question

Angelos has launched the VX1n at special offer, lower than RRP price for a set amount of units of stock.
As far as I know it will be going up to the RRP when the limited number of units have been sold,
On Spartans website it says "Amazing introductory price! Ending soon! £40 off regular RRP!"
So it will be £199.99 VX1n with datapod
And £169.99 on VX1n only.
(Offer price is £159.99 & £129.99)

What heli are you going to set it up on?
I picked one up for my 500 @ RCHA & the guys set it up for me, Great service....
Just about to swap it over to my nite flyer 500, I wonder if I could send it back with my heli to Angelos to get Andy to set it up for me?

The VX1 has vibe analysis as well and the VX1n doesn't.

Question #171

What is the difference between the Vortex VX1 and VX1n flybarless systems.

Answer

The VX1 incorporates a remote sensor unit whist the VX1n has all parts contained in a single box.
Both Vortex VX1 and VX1n utilise same software and sensor technology. The flight performance of the VX1n is not reduced in any way and all configuration options are identical between both units.
For technical reasons currently the VX1n does not offer the vibration analysis/plotting function. This does not affect the vibration immunity of the unit. Simply the DataPod does not display vibration analysis plots. We are looking at the possibility of restoring this functionality in the future however at this time it should be considered as not available in the VX1n.

cheers gavalar most helpful going out your ay to dig that out awesome mate thanks must be something tiny diff between the 2 for a function to not work..... don't bother me I doubt il ever use it if it looks smooth... its smooth if it shakes .... problem :P

Im using the VX1 on the bigger helix 600,700 and the VX1n on the smaller 550 and below. Just like guys are doing with the Vbars eg. full size on the larger helis and mini vbar on the smaller, due to the separate sensor positioning. I maybe wrong but i think its better having the separate sensor on the larger helis for easier installation.

I can see the sense in that as I struggled to mount a brain on my 700 but the vx1 just sits in the nose and sensor in the gyro spot

[Gavalar]

I have seen the same on some 700's with the VX1, I have the VX1 unit in the front and the sensor at the rear on my knight 600e. Just an extension lead inbetween.

I have tried to fit a VX1n to my 7HV, but just the logistics of getting the servo wires to the gyro plate are a nightmare, without them being knocked or at risk of pulling the sensor around. Its just the layout on the 7HV.

It could be done, but I couldnt make it look tidy, so the Vx1n went on the logo and the VX1 on the 7HV. No biggy
