VStabi price reduction in europe

[Panda]

Not sure if you have heard/seen: Mikado reduced the price for V Stabi from EUR 649.- to EUR 399.- in Europe!! Hope you will have cheaper VStabis in the US soon! ;) Everyone who bought the Vstabi for the full price 2008 will get the control Panle for Vstabi for free! (Listprice: Approx EUR 100.-)

Regards,

$625 US that helps but still.....

Neat, now I'm definitaly tempted to get this stuff. I thought the price was way too steap.

For all those guys out there with the V-Stabi, are you using the v-stabi's tail gyro? Or an additional?

Ron,

V-Bar gyro for sure, there is nothing in its class ;)
The key is, its working together with the cyclics and collective controls, so the tailservo already gets a command, even before it has to compensate something

So, its one system that is working together perfectly

Some here in German based forums say a version 2 will come soon, some other say that this is a reaction to AC-3X system...

Jonathan


Cordless Bluetooth panel that is keychain size. No laptop needed to make changes on your Vstabi on heli. Can adjust while in hover or quick stop etc...

Very cool.... I didn't know this exist. It is available in US ?

From the Mikado Homepage:

V-Bar Control Panel
The days of carrying an expensive laptop to the flying field
are over, the new V-Bar Control Panel is the easiest and most
practical way of programming the V-Bar. The V-Bar Control
Panel is connected directly to the V-Bar via cable and allows
you to program the V-Bar with necessary data such as initial
set-up and parameter adjustment right at the flying field. The
panel features an ergonomically correct turning knob and push
button which have been integrated for easy operation, an SD
card for loading model data or updating set-up software, and a
high-contrast display which is readable even in bright sunlight.
The SD card can also be used to transfer model data to another
pilot’s helicopter.
• easy-to-use set-up software
• high-contrast graphics display
• easy handling via turning knob and push button
• loading and saving of model set-ups via SD card
• updates via SD card

Got details on this bit? Does that include ones purchased in kits?

No, only single Vstabi and that only in Europe, because due to the Dollar / Euro Difference German Users paid too much for it compared to the US Version. Compared too the old 649 Euros the similar price in $ had too be around 1000$. That's why they had to rise the price.
