Revolution have them listed on their site http://www.revolutionmodels.co.uk/ac...4000-4999.html I was looking at them yesterday as I'm very tempted to go flybarless with my Logo 500 and CSM Cycloc/720s.

Just ordered one yesterday from Revolution. They're out of stock, but getting some more in soon. I've already got the CSM stuff to go with it. It's going in a 500 as well.

I have one on back order for my 500 from Andy, Real Raptors, but hes not 100% on when there gona be in stock, any news ?

I have recieved and built my new 500cf kit just for it and Im now working on the head and washout driver atm.

do we know the size of the v-bar box, I cat fid it anyware ???
will it fit between the frames of the 500 or is there gona need to be more modding done, not a problem just would be nice if it would just slide in-between the frames

I wish quick uk would make a swash plate for the 500 as the std unit is crap, i have had a crash due to one seperating on me and there not un-sloppy out the box tbo :/

Agreed, I have one on my 600e and the difference is much better.

Will be on my list as soon as they introduce one for the 500.

Me too. They are superb. IMHO I reckon changes the model substantially

My Vbar box measures about 35x45x15mm. You need to allow for connectors on both ends. No mods needed on a Logo 500 frame: there's loads of space.

[Arky]

Is that 35mm wide and the connectors in each end of the 45mm section if so it will fit perfectly

[Tean]

Yep. That's right.

[Arky]

Yep. That's right.

nice one Tean thanks

[Arky]

Right i made this but have now decided although it would work it's fugly so i have taken it all of and gona start again gona make a differentkind of swash driver much simpler one just a guild for the pushrods and gona do the grips differently.

I emailed Mikado to ask how long before the v-stab would be back in stock not good

Hello Jason, Thank you for your email. We are desperately awaiting availability of the VBar. It should be back in stock by the end of the month. It's a tricky situation, but I hope you will bear with us. In the UK, Flight Tech has the main distribution, and they ship to several dealers such as Revolution Models or Real Raptors and Midland Helicopters. You may check Flight Tech's website. Kind Regards Inge LasserMIKADO

The avialabilty of Vbar units has been a bit patchy for a while now, but at least they're cheaper when you can find one.
This is how I did a Trex600 head. This setup has been working well for nearly a year now.
