VX1N Problem

[GIXERMAN]

Took me a little while to get my head round it Brian when I got the first one. But setup is really easy. Once youve set a model up once for a Vortex unit in the radio, you can just copy it to another model memory. No more messing with transmitter setup.

And the heli setup is really simple, you only need a swash level (or mk1 eyeball) and a pitch guage

im sure I can manage it, but if and when I fit it, if I'm stuck will call on your services.

No its Spartan it reads LOL

No worse that the stout V-bah fanboys! Infact I know one of them who is a much bigger tool than I!

raptor 90 vortex
goblin 770 vortex
goblin 630 vortex
knight 3d vortex
trex 450 vortex


you see why i said vortex and not spartan

you are mr stig of the vortex

I've had a vx1n for some months, just haven't had the heart to remove a Vbar, doesn't seem as easy to setup as people say, or am I reading into it.

Not sure why you would remove one perfectly good FBL unit for another unless there were other factors!

That said, the vortex is pretty easy in truth. I think the documentation could be made more "new-to-vortex-friendly", but that's a comment about the manual, not the actual setup procedures of the unit itself.

because I like to try new things tom, also bought a skookum 540 to try also but as yet not fitted to anything. I've had a ebar,3G,3gx, beastx ,brain and Vbar so far, so may aswell try a couple more.

Fair enough! As I say, the VX1 setup is actually easier than the documentation implies. My first one wasn't a great experience as my datapod came with incompatible firmware against the main unit and required a firmware upgrade. Not great for a mac user when the software is windows only!

That was a very early VX1 unit though. My second unit (a VX1n) was trivial to install and setup.

For me the biggest difference was that with the Vortex you must calibrate the TX to the Vortex first otherwise you'll be chasing yourself around in circles. Once all the travel adjusts and servo directions are set and everything moves exactly as it should in the Vortex it's very logical from there on. Having said that, there are lots of things to tweak and it requires reading up on what some of the functions are for things like paddle dynamic and style etc.
