ROCKS with the VStabi flybarless , GOSH dang ! I have never flew a machine that can station flip without it going alittle to the left or to the right , BUT this heli I bought from Karl ( freezin eskimo ) his ole 50 that I converted back to a 90 size kicks some BUTT, the little airplane version actro 24-4 with a V curve of 100 75 100 with the schulze 40-160 and 10s3p prolites , had just as much grunt as my 32-3s , YEH , my first flight of the year too , what a good way to start it off , I couldnt believe the 24-4 could tic toc so good , man Im hiped up , but for anyone wanting a VStabi , it is well worth the 500 bucks for the 2 axis , stock setting , and I can also state that over the winter I put in about 300 hours on the sim, G3 , and from last years flights and videos was nothing compared to this flight , I sure love the sim ,

The 300 hours of sim time probably did not hurt either ;) Congrats!

And no tail gyro needed isn't it?

hey , yeh that helped , but the feel is completely different than my other 2 Ions , its just ( THERE) you will see it at Chattanooga
Lauren , you can get a 2 axis , just for the swash , and use your own gyro , or get the 3 axis that has a built in HH gyro that uses the 9251 servo , and the 3 axis can all work together to react the way you want it too

So you take the setup out of it and Tony's Ion flys the best he has ever seen. ;) (if I understand how the head works anyway)

Sorry Tony, I had to! HAHAHAHA

Very interesting, can't wait to check it out at Chattanooga. Are you carrying it on the plane with you Tony? I hope they let you take the packs.

hey , you will need to fly it to believe it and both of yall will find out , he he , yeh I have a 14mx but Im running a 148 dp rx , Ulrich , the owner of the VStabi is kinda Ify on the G3 rx. since the rx sends out the signal in batches , hey , the 24-4 Karl flew at IRCHA also changed with the 100t main gear , better torque , for 3D it is perfic , I sure cant wait till my kontronics 63 v esc comes in , Im looking for the ultimate gov for it , but I heard the newest schulze supposed to have address the gov issue ,
now the VStabi seams to me to some how control the pulse rate to simulate flybar reactions , now this is a programable head
look at the screen shot of 1 out of 4 paged you can program into the head ,
