Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / April 2008Digital flybar system, cheaper..
This thing was announced on helifreak a little while ago. Every day people have been hounding the guy for a release date and price, and it's (I think) available now. $329. It's a two-axis digital flybar system, like the V-Bar but it doesn't incorporate the tail. Doesn't include any head parts so you have to modify your flybar'd head to work, but it looks good! A video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URlVXWQ87Es another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-n0XJ9fmF8 The thing itself: http://www.digiflybar.com/ The discussion thread about it: http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=58579 What do you think? I need to learn to fly helis before I look at anything like this, but it looks great to me. >This thing was announced on helifreak a little while ago.

Alvin is gonna give Finless (anyone is the hobby for more than 30 days knows who Finless is) a unit to check out. Hopefully, since I live less than an hour from Finless, I'll get to fly it and see how it works. >> This thing was announced on helifreak a little while ago.

Awesome. Let us know what you think. Unfortunately one of the UK buyers just got stung for an eatra 30% import duty and vat, which takes it to $460 :( Still a lot cheaper than a V-Bar I think though. >> Alvin is gonna give Finless (anyone is the hobby for more than 30 days >> knows who Finless is) a unit to check out.

I'm flying with Finless tomorrow and I know he got the gear about a week ago so he may have it up and running already. If I get a chance to fly it, I'll post my impressions. >>> Alvin is gonna give Finless (anyone is the hobby for more than 30 days >>> knows who Finless is) a unit to check out.

Finless didn't have the head parts to do the swap, but I did see a Trex500 with a vStabi flybarless system on it. OMG was it fast on the cyclic. Building my 500 right now (just need a gyro/TR servo and it's done) and I may have to investigate a flybarless setup... |
