which fbl unit

[mr magoo]

HI Guy's

At the moment I have an align Gpro on my electric heli, I thinking of getting a new flybarless unit. my radio is JR14xg so have to run a separate receiver.

what would you guys go for

[waveydavey]

Why are you thinking of changing is the GPro not doing it for you in some way.

[tourerjim]

Blimey there's some choices out there now, Vbar always came tops but not so sure now.
I'm all Gpro so cant comment.

[mr magoo]

its no longer supported by align, they changed over to beastx. I wonder why. plus I have seen two Gpro burn out brand new tail servo's. plus newer fbl unit are coming out with bailouts

[waveydavey]

As Jim says above theres so much choice, the V Bar, Spirit and Vortex are good places to start

I never did like 3gx/Gpro , I mostly use beastx they work well & are simple to set up & alter with no need for a computer , I also have 2 spirit pro's with bail out
& they work well , the bail out can be handy but you got to train your self to use it & at £180 delivered it ain't to expensive

ps Wee tam just got a beastx , ask him how is finding it ? Kd

Sorry to butt in gents/OP
What's the Brain like ? especially with the V2 on the horizon

I'm a BeastX user too (full upgraded pro version with 3D rescue), but I don't have anything to compare it against. What I can say though is that I find it very easy to set up (user manual is excellent too) and it all works fine. Flies much like my sim with no nasty surprises. I liked it enough to buy a second one for my new Goblin, although I was very tempted by the Spirit which works out a little cheaper if you really want rescue. It's an additional 79 Euros on BeastX.
